Summary
An
orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in
the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora
dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage
of a gifted con artist. 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 in the shadows lurks someone still
more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that
threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds
meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy
at his own brutal game—or die trying.
