The Frame-Up
‘Romantic, clever, and makes grand larceny more fun than ever’ HOLLY BLACK
‘A twisty, riveting and fantastically original story’ ELLE COSIMANO
‘Gwenda Bond at her absolute best: magical romantic and fun as hell’ ALIX E. HARROW
Dani Poissant is the daughter and former accomplice of the world’s most famous art thief. There was no job too big for Maria and her loyal crew. The secret to their success? A little thing called magic, kept rigorously secret from the non-magical world. They seemed unstoppable . . . until a teenage Dani turned her mother over to the FBI.
Ten years later, with Maria still in prison, Dani finds herself approached for a job that only Maria and her crew could pull off . . . if any of them were still speaking to her. But it’s the job of a lifetime and might just be the lure Dani needs to reconcile with her mother and be reunited with her mother’s old gang-including both the love of her life and her former best friend.
The problem is, it’s an impossible task-even with the magical talents of the people she once considered family backing her up. It’s a heist that needs a year to plan, and Dani has just over a week. Worse, the more Dani learns, the more she understands that there’s far more at stake in this job that she ever realised.
