With an introduction by Joe Abercrombie:- Synopsis: The Thorn of Camorr is said to be an unbeatable swordsman, a master thief, a friend to the poor, a ghost that walks through walls. Slightly built and barely competent with a sword, Locke Lamora is, much to his annoyance, the fabled Thorn. And while Locke does indeed steal from the rich (who else would be worth stealing from?), the poor never see a penny. All of Locke's gains are strictly for himself and his tight-knit band of thieves: The Gentlemen Bastards. The capricious, colourful underworld of the ancient city of Camorr is the only home they've ever known. But now a clandestine war is threatening to tear it apart. Caught up in a murderous game, Locke and his friends are suddenly struggling to stay alive:- Review(s): "A great, swashbuckling yarn of a novel" - Richard Morgan / "Hugely enjoyable, a rollicking blast of solid fun. Compulsive reading" - Hal Duncan / "A remarkably stylish debut" - The Times:- (original cost £8.99). Seller Inventory # 22.038.00002
