About this book

One master thief. One modern hacker. Two timelines collide in a stylish, high-stakes caper full of charm, brains, and retro flair! From the minds of Legally Blonde screenwriter Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith, co-writer Kurt Lustgarten, co-writer Amy Roy, and artist Leisha Riddel, comes the complete collection of the acclaimed crime-comedy series where espionage, fashion, and friendship never go out of style.

When Brenda, a brilliant but awkward hacker from the late 90s, accidentally thaws out Mia Corsair—an international cat burglar from the swinging 60s—they find themselves the unlikeliest of partners. With fifty years of world-changing tech (and fashion) to catch up on, Mia’s got unfinished business: the biggest heist of her career. Brenda’s got the skills to make it happen, and maybe a few secrets of her own. As they navigate Y2K anxieties, high-tech security systems, and their budding team-up, these two smooth criminals plan the heist of the new millennium—that is, if they can stay one step ahead of the law...and time itself. Collects Smooth Criminals #1–8.
