Publisher Description
The first book of the epic fantasy caper Gentleman Bastard Sequence about a roguish group of conmen, which George R. R. Martin says “captured me right on the first page and never let me go.”
“If you haven’t read [The Lies of Locke Lamora], you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss
An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges relentless danger, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen 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.

Customer Reviews
A fantastic book that kept me guessing What would happen next with each chapter!
I went in expecting a standard heist story but this is far from that. Not only is there a heist on a very wealth couple, but we get to experience secret organizations, betrayals, and gang leader fighting for control. There are plenty of twist and turns that will keep you till the last page.
If your a fan of Way of Kings…Must read.
The start was slow and it was hard to care, so be prepared for that. Once you understand what’s going on and the characters you will come to love come into view you fall in love with this first book. Pay attention and you won’t regret it…
The narrator was top class and more then I could have asked for.
This will go down as one of my favorites.
Must read simple as that.
This was a lot of fun
This was a fun book. A little confusing at first but settles into a good pace and adds context to early information.
