Read an excerpt from Thieves Like Us here
Jonah Wish, a brilliant computer hacker, is the newest addition to an elite group of teen outlaws. Brought together by a mysterious benefactor, each offers a unique talent: Patch is a one-eyed locksmith; Motti has a knack for knocking out electrical systems; Con's charm is truly mesmerizing; and Tye can detect a lie with more precision than a polygraph. When sent on a mission to retrieve and decipher an ancient text that may hold the key to eternal life, they are ready for action. But Jonah is not so sure he belongs in their fast-paced world. Will it be the adventure, the free gadgets, or maybe a beautiful girl, that finally convince Jonah to join this one-of-a-kind family?
