There, Kat meets Silas Foster, the director of research and new product development. Worried about Hale, Kat and Gabrielle decide to crash Hazel's funeral.

Gabrielle came soon after Hale left, and asked Kat how he was doing, but all Kat replied was 'he's different'. They talked for a bit, but Hale left with his family. After hearing the news, Kat went to find Hale.

Gabrielle and Kat told Uncle Eddie what had happened, and he said that Hale's grandmother, Hazel Hale, had been in a coma, but died earlier in the morning. She's beginning to become worried and wondered what had happened. Two days later, Kat still hasn't heard from Hale. Hale unexpectedly went off from the job, leaving Kat confused. Kat was unsure about the idea, but let him come with her eventually.Ģ years and 4 months later, Kat and Hale are on a heist and officially dating. They were in the middle of the job, when Marcus called Hale over. After talking for a bit (about how the Monet was a fake), Kat decided to go as she had been caught, but Hale wanted to follow her. She was in the middle of Wyndham woods, about to steal a Monet painting at the big house, when Hale found her. The story starts 2 years before Kat's crew robbed the Henley - the night when Kat met Hale. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy.

So instead of being the heir-this time, Hale might be the mark.įorced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting-or stealing-whatever they want. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world.
