I'm surprised no one has mentioned Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy: Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's Quest. Doesn't focus a whole lot on assassinations, but still a good read. The characters in Hughart's _Bridge of Birds_ aren't really thieves, but they do make a ton of money off some big scams. And I'll second the recommendations for _The Long Run_ and Fafhrd and Grey Mouser stories. --KG
