About the book

The opening novel of the Gentleman Bastard Sequence follows Locke Lamora and his crew of elite con artists in the city of Camorr. Their elaborate confidence schemes collide with gang warfare and aristocratic politics, forcing them into a battle for survival against enemies far more violent than they anticipated. The book blends caper structure, dark humor, and brutal reversals with a tightly built friendship core.
