THIS IS A ROBBERY

A down-on-her-luck conwoman plans a high-stakes heist fueled by deep-seated grudges, missed love connections, and a powerful desire to eat the rich in this unforgettable sapphic thriller from the author of You’ll Never Forget Me.

Three years after a heist gone wrong, Kajal Rao is fresh off Riker’s and ready for revenge. But her former crew has been shattered by the impact.

Before, it was their desperation and rage that brought them together. Drowning in debt owed to Hoffman Bank because of their illegally predatory loans, Kajal, her sister Kalyani, girlfriend Alia Arora, and college friend Beatrix Bell hatched a dicey plan to steal the money they owed directly from the bank’s overstuffed pockets. But when the dust settled, Kajal was in jail alone and the rest were worse off than when they started.

Now, Kajal’s plan is bigger than before. She’s had three years to plot and she’s not just interested in the money anymore. She wants to cut off the snake’s head: Benjamin Hoffman, the CEO of Hoffman Bank. The only place Kajal can think to go after prison is Queens, New York, where her ex-girlfriend Alia has been doing some scheming of her own. They pull together a new ragtag crew. But this time around, the tension between Kajal and Alia—what used to be source of strength—now gives them pause.

Haunted by the ghost of the previous heist gone wrong, the new team will have to navigate increased security, personal betrayals, and their own complicated pasts as they decide how far they are willing to go for the scheme—and for each other—or risk being swallowed by a behemoth.
