Portrait of a Thief by Grace D. Li

Five young Chinese-Americans are approached to pull off a massive art theft that will leave them with millions. The money alone is tempting but what really draws these idealistic thieves is the fact that the priceless art they are stealing from some of the world's nicest art museums was originally stolen from Ancient China. Dangerous, exciting and money that could help them jump start their future is great if they can pull it off but they will lose it all if caught. They are young, they are fearless and they are talented thieves. A bit of romance, a lot of intense car races and a brilliant cat and mouse game in the high stakes art world - this Oceans Eleven, Friends and It Takes A Thief thriller is one heck of a promising debut.  4 stars
