Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of a Gentleman in Search of a Horse So many friends have stated to me that the anonymous publication of my work deprives it of half its value as a book of reference, that I have been induced to prefix my name to this sixth edition. I never concealed it from any puerile affectation, but simply because I doubted the professional propriety of appearing as an author in such a form. If my clients should hereafter reproach me with the indecorum, I may at least quote the approbation of the public as an excuse. My readers will perceive that in this edition I have been obliged to resort in many instances to newspaper authority for recent cases.

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.

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.
