My favorite genre is fantasy heists lol, my absolute favorite is the Lies of Locke Lamora and is the best example. Riyria chronicles/best served cold both have heisty vibes with the character teams, but arent exactly. Same with mistborn. Silverblood promise or the Douglas hulick among thieves are other good options, though more just plain theft than heist. Queens thief for ya. And I haven’t read either yet, but have heard good things about the foundryside and the rook and rose trilogies.

If you want a true story, Con/Artist by Tony Tetro and Giampiero Ambrosi is the memoir of Tony Tetro's time as an art forger

READ THE GENTLEMAN BASTARDS SEQUENCE STARTING WITH “The Lies of Locke Lamora”‼️. Characters are lovable and funny, the banter’s great, the schemes they pull are so smart and fun, and it all comes together to a final act that I can’t even describe. You’ll have to get used to it bouncing back and forth from present and past a couple times, but Scott Lynch does it very well.

A Tempest of Tea! It's the first book in a duology and I haven't read the second book yet, but the first is all crime (heist)

Gilded wolves if you want similar vibes to six of crows but with more mythology and less grime . The lies of Locke lamora if you want six of crows but with more elaborate schemes and more grime
