The Lies of Locke Lamora

Author: Scott Lynch

Dive into the gritty underbelly of Camorr, where a young orphan named Locke Lamora leads a band of clever thieves known as the Gentleman Bastards. With wit as sharp as his blade, Locke cons the city’s elite, dancing on the edge of danger. But when a mysterious figure threatens everything he holds dear, Locke must outwit not just the nobles, but the deadliest players in a game he thought he mastered. Lynch’s vivid world-building and intricate plot twists will keep you guessing until the very end.

“Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to f*** up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the gods themselves will s*** their pants, and I just hope I’m around to see it.”
