But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld's most feared ruler. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. Scott Lynch's first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.-The Times (London) An orphan's life is harsh-and often short-in the mysterious island city of Camorr. ![]() ![]() "item_title" : "The Lies of Locke Lamora", ![]()
