Well, it's Young Adult fantasy, but actually very well written with a deep look into the lives of thieves/spies: Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce. The main character's father is the Thief King, and she kinda takes after him.

EDIT: She also wrote the Circle of Magic, Circle Opens, and the Will of the Empress, which are all books with thecharacter named Briar, who is a former thief, included.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens is a classic novel about an English orphan boy who runs away from an abusive orphanage and gets caught up with a gang of young thieves who are taken care of by a criminal named Fagan. It's excellent, although loooooong and written in old-fashioned language.

like a story about a master thief.

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. and it has lots of lesbian sex and mechanical dildos, if im not mistaken.

how about Les Miserables? Jean Valjean's entire search for redemption is based his past as a thief.

Sevvy

If you like fantasy books then Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson is definitely a good book about a whole group of master thieves.

Winged Sandals

The Theif Lord by Cornelia Funke is pretty good (it's a kid's book). The James Bond books are kind of mastermind theif-eqsue at times...

There is, of course, Raskolnikov in 'Crime and Punishment'. Perhaps the most important literary thief of all time.
