Instead of winning an impossible wish, Ross has the threat of her family's execution hanging over her head. Devroe, the only person Ross thought she could trust, could wish the Quests into oblivion at any time. Shockingly, despite his betrayal, Devroe is still making a play for Ross's heart as the two work together pulling jobs for the Organization. But Ross has learned her lesson: A Quest can only trust another Quest. When Ross finds herself at the center of a power struggle within the Organization, she sees her chance to change her fortunes. As a new deadly Gambit develops for control of the criminal underworld, Ross strikes a risky deal to guarantee protection for herself and her family. In this final clash, Ross will square off against a ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to seize power, and in their corner will be not only Devroe but his mother, who wants to destroy the Quests at any cost. The new Gambit takes Ross and her crew into the intoxicating casinos of Monte Carlo and across treacherous snow-covered slopes in Antarctica as Ross competes against Devroe in a fight for her life. Loyalties will be tested, backs stabbed, hearts broken. May the best thief win.

As this gambit takes the globe-trotting crew to such far-flung places as Antarctica and South Africa, the growing stakes will test loyalties and may break more than hearts as Ross tries to fend off death at every turn.

Vinnare av Waterstones Children's Book Prize för äldre läsare 2024!Ross Quest är bara 17 år, men redan en fullfjädrad mästertjuv, uppväxt i en familj full av svindlare. Hon är dock på väg att lämna den världen bakom sig när hennes mamma oväntat försvinner. För att rädda henne tackar Ross ja till en inbjudan att delta i Tjuvarnas turnering, där en vinst innebär att man får önska sig vad som helst, en önskning som kan rädda hennes mamma.Turneringens deltagare är utvalda kriminella underbarn och tävlingen består av en serie komplicerade kupper, som tar plats över hela världen. Det är överdådigt lyxigt, med privatflygplan, diamanter och dyra aktioner, och samtidigt extremt farligt.Bland deltagarna finns hennes före detta barndomsvän samt en oerhört attraktiv kille som verkar ha siktet inställt på Ross, och plötsligt blir det svårt att hålla sig till familjens motto: ”Lita inte på någon vars efternamn inte är Quest”. I takt med att turneringen hettar till måste hon bestämma sig för vem som är fiende och vem som är vän.

Elokuvamaisessa rikostrillerissä maailman parhaat varkaat kutsutaan kilpailemaan varkaiden valtiaan tittelistä. Yksi heistä pelaa kaikista korkeimmasta panoksesta: äitinsä hengestä."Varkaiden valtias on mestariteos! Rakastan kaikkea tässä kirjassa dramaattisista juonenkäänteistä kansainvälisiin tapahtumapaikkoihin ja hahmoihin. Kayvion Lewis on luonut nopeatempoisen ja dramaattisen tarinan, joka piti minut otteessaan alusta loppuun.” – Natasha Bowen, kirjailija.17-vuotias Ross Quest on jo mestarivaras, ja erityisen taitava pakosuunnitelmien laatimisessa. Hänen suunnitelmansa paeta legendaarisesta rikollissuvustaan saa odottamattoman käänteen, kun hänen äitinsä henki joutuu uhatuksi.Epätoivoisena Ross päättää osallistua Varkaiden valtias -kilpailuun, sarjaan vaarallisia kansainvälisiä ryöstöjä. Näissä turnajaisissa kilpakumppaneiden tappaminen ei ole tavatonta. Pääpalkintona on yksi toteutettu toive – ja se voi pelastaa Rossin äidin hengen. Kun Ross saa tietää, että kilpailussa ovat mukana myös hänen vanha lapsuuden vihollisensa, sekä komea sujuvapuheinen poika, joka saattaa haluta varastaa hänen sydämensä, voittamisesta tulee vaikeampaa kuin hän kuvitteli.Ross yrittää parhaansa mukaan pitää kiinni perheen motosta: älä luota keneenkään, jonka sukunimi ei ole Quest. Mutta kun panokset ovat näin korkeat, Rossin on päätettävä, ketä huijata ja keneen luottaa, ennen kuin aika loppuu. Vain yksi heistä voi voittaa.New Yorkissa asuva Kayvion Lewis kirjoittaa eskapistisia ja jännittäviä kirjoja nuorille aikuisille. Vapaa-ajallaan hän karkaa pakohuoneista, hyppää lentokoneista ja pakenee toi- sinaan vuoristoon opiskelemaan kungfua.

Varkaiden valtiaan vauhdikkaassa jatko-osassa Ross Guest joutuu keskelle varkaiden turnajaisia, joissa panoksena on elämä ja kuolema.”Tässä Varkaisen valtiaan sykähdyttävässä jatko-osassa Ross [...] joutuu jälleen kerran järjestön oikkujen kohteeksi ja kilpailemaan jossakin, joka on 'vähemmän kilpailu, ja enemmänkin turnajaiset'. Matkaten New Orleansista ja Etelämantereelta Monte Carloon ja Kapkaupunkiin tutut, rakastettavat hahmot [...] joutuvat kilpailemaan Rossin entisen ihastuksen Devroen ja hänen äitinsä Dianen kanssa, joka vihaa syvästi Questin perhettä. Edellisosasta tuttu jännitys ja vauhti tekevät tästä hauskan ja tyydyttävän lukuhetken. Viihdyttävä ja arvokas jatko-osa.”- Kirkus ReviewsGambitin päättymisestä on kulunut kuusi kuukautta ja Rossin yllä roikkuu edelleen uhka perheen teloituksesta. Devroe, ainoa henkilö, johon Ross luuli voivansa luottaa, on pettänyt hänet. Petturuudestaan huolimatta poika pyrkii yhä Rossin sydämeen, kun he työskentelevät yhdessä Järjestön puolesta. Kun Ross joutuu keskelle Järjestön sisäistä valtataistelua, hän näkee tilaisuutensa paeta. Alkaa uusi kilpailu rikollismaailman hallinnasta, jossa voittaja saa vapauden ja häviäjiä uhkaa kuolema. Ja vastapuolella on paitsi Devroe myös tämän äiti, joka haluaa tuhota Rossin perheen hinnalla millä hyvänsä.Uusi kilpailu vie Rossin ja hänen ystävänsä Monte Carlon huumaaviin kasinoihin ja Etelämantereen petollisille lumille. Uskollisuutta koetellaan, selkään puukotetaan ja sydämiä särjetään. Paras varas voittakoon.
