Hark is everything Murdock aspires to be, from her slick fashion sense to her unfailing ability to plan under pressure. Together with Bea, a fearless driver who never walks away from a bet, and Fitz, Murdock's infuriatingly mercurial rival who can sweet-talk the galaxy into spinning around her finger, they form a foursome with a reputation for daring heists, massive payoffs, and never, \u003ci\u003eever\u003c\/i\u003e getting caught. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Well, until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Getting caught is one thing.
