The story: March McQuin's father Alfie has just fallen off a roof and been killed--but not before he taught his son all the tricks of the trade. March knows all the steps in planning a perfect jewel theft--but what he doesn't know is that he has a twin sister. When fate throws Jules into his path, the two decide to follow their dad's plan for the ultimate heist. Never mind that it got Alfie killed...

Liz's comments: This story is something like "Ocean's Eleven" for the MS crowd, where the kids, although not successful in bringing their heist to a profitable conclusion, still end up living in the lap of luxury because of something their father stole years earlier. It was an interesting read, and there was plenty going on, but I didn't like the implication that dishonest behavior is excused by other guy's being even more dishonest than YOU.
