The less attention anyone pays to them, the better! But a deadly mystery has begun to haunt the ancient city of Camorr, and a clandestine war is threatening to tear the city's underworld, the only home the Gentlemen Bastards have ever known, to bloody shreds.

All of Locke's gains are strictly for himself and his tight-knit band of thieves, the Gentlemen Bastards. And while Locke does indeed steal from the rich (who else, pray tell, would be worth stealing from?), the poor never see a penny of it. He certainly didn't invite the rumors that swirl around his exploits, which are actually confidence games of the most intricate sort. Slightly built, unlucky in love, and barely competent with a sword, Locke Lamora is, much to his annoyance, the fabled Thorn. The other half believe him to be a foolish myth. Half the city believes him to be a legendary champion of the poor. The Thorn of Camorr is said to be an unbeatable swordsman, a master thief, a ghost that walks through walls.
