The Story Thus Far:
Sly Cooper and the Thievious Racconus:
What's the hallmark of a true master thief? If you come from the Cooper family line, the answer is to steal from other thieves! However, the book that would teach the latest descendant of that family line--Sly Cooper--was stolen when he was a boy by a ruthless gang of rival criminals known as the Fiendish Five!
Now a young adult, Sly sets out with his childhood friends (Bentley the brainiac turtle and Murray the big-eating hippo) to reclaim his family heirloom from the Fiendish Five, and show them how a real master thief does things by robbing them blind. But it's easier said than done--Sly's quest will take him from the thriving desert boom town of Mesa City to the haunted swamps of Haiti and the snowy mountains of China, forcing him to contend with some of the most dangerous criminals and hazardous traps the world has ever seen...not to mention that Inspector Carmelita Fox, a hot-blooded Interpol detective with a black-and-white view on crime, will be hounding Sly every step of the way!
It'll be a challenge, for certain...but hey, Sly wouldn't be a proper master thief if he only took the easy jobs, right?

Sly 2: Band of Thieves:
A couple years after finally reclaiming his family heirloom, the Thievious Raccoonus, Sly discovers that the mechanical remains of his parents' murderer--a malevolent robotic owl known as Clockwerk, the former leader of the Fiendish Five--have been stolen by an international crime cartel known as the Klaww Gang. To prevent the legacy of his family's arch-nemesis from being used for nefarious purposes, Sly must track down the members of the Klaww Gang and pull off a series of daring heists to reclaim the Clockwerk parts!
With the stakes higher than ever before, Sly won't be going into the field alone, this time--the brainy Bentley has equipped himself with a tranquilizer gun and a pack of explosives, while Murray has undergone a training regimen to turn himself into the Cooper Gang's resident strongman! Combining their respective skills, Sly and his friends must match wits with the likes of Paris crime boss Dimitri, Indian spice lord Rajan, and the mysterious tinkerer known as Arpeggio...all the while, two of Interpol's finest officers--the feisty Carmelita Fox and her new partner, Constable Neyla--are hot on Sly's trail!
Complicated heists. A love triangle. Betrayal. A tangled plot. All of this awaits Sly and his friends as they set out to end the threat of Clockwerk once and for all...

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
In the aftermath of the Klaww Gang caper, the Cooper Gang has gone their separate ways...but when Sly receives word of a vast treasure hoard belonging to his family line, he knows he's got to put the team back together! The long-lost Cooper Vault contains centuries of wealth amassed by Sly's thieving ancestors...but a criminal genius by the name of Dr. M has constructed a vast fortress around the vault while he attempts to force it open, claiming Sly's inheritance all for himself!
But to get past the complex defenses that Dr. M has set up, the Cooper Gang is going to need additional help. To this end, Sly, Bentley, and Murray must travel the globe to recruit the best thieving specialists they can find, expanding the ranks of the Cooper Gang with the likes of a mystical Guru from Australia and a radio/mechanical expert from Holland. As he leads the gang to further locales across the globe--China, Italy, and more--Sly will once more find himself hounded by the beautiful Carmelita Fox, who's more determined than ever to slap him in handcuffs.
For Sly, this is about more than the score of a lifetime. This is a chance to claim the inheritance of his family line. All that's left is to pull off the heist!

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time:
After the Cooper Vault job, Sly Cooper decided to try and give up his life of crime, faking amnesia so that he could spend his life with his longtime nemesis/love interest, Carmelita Fox. However, the master thief is pulled back into the family business when it's revealed that sections of the Thievious Raccoonus--the archived history of his thieving ancestors--are disappearing! As it soon becomes clear that someone is travelling through time to interfere with the Cooper family history, Sly and his friends must use one of Bentley's latest inventions--a time machine--to head back in time and save the Cooper line from being wiped out!
As Sly tries to halt the sinister plans of the mastermind behind this temporal caper--a mysterious collector known as Le Paradox--he'll find himself travelling to exotic locales across time (including feudal Japan, medieval England, and the Wild West) meeting his famous thieving ancestors (such as the ninja Rioichi, the gunslinging Tennessee "Kid," and the crafty Salim Al Kupar), and trying to salvage his relationship with Carmelita (who's rather upset that he was faking amnesia all along). All the while, the cunning Le Paradox travels through time, seeking out the canes of the Cooper ancestors while setting his own cunning schemes in motion.
What is Le Paradox's master plan? And can Sly preserve his family legacy from this time-travelling megalomaniac...?
