The Lies of Locke Lamora
by Scott Lynch
Find this item in our catalogue.
Jacket Notes:
They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat
anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They
say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong
on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke
Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his
wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing
from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and
tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists
and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards. Together their domain is the city of Camorr.
Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels,
filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants,
soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal
mastermind who runs the city. But there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa's
power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch.
The Grey King is coming. A man would be well advised not to be caught between
Capa Barsavi and The Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn
of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora ...
