Publisher's Synopsis
Books 4 and 5 of a planned series of 7 will see Locke Lamora, conman, thief and Gentleman Bastard out in the wider world around Camorr. He's still living by his wits and cunning, still using his charm and a ready smile before he uses a sword and a dagger and he's still on the run from the Bonds Magi. This is an extraordinary fantasy series; expertly plotted, beautifully written, full of excitement and dangers, peopled by superb characters. It is original and fresh. The Lies of Locke Lamora drew praise from all quarters, including George RR Martin, Richard Morgan and Matthew Woodring Stover.
