The Lies of Locke Lamora

Product Information

Chains: It’s my divine duty to see that the blue bloods with their pretty titles get a little bit of what life hands the rest of us as a matter of routine — a nice, sharp jab in the ass every now and again. This infatuation never went away, and he was heartbroken when he thoughts that she had drowned while on a job.

Even Capa Barsavi, who murdered dozens of rivals to become the sole remaining Capa, makes a point of not interfering with their business. Sabetha reveals herself to be as competent as Locke in The Republic of Thieves when she disguises herself as an old crone who is shorter than her actual height, which fools both Locke and Jean.He is also known by many other aliases, depending on what confidence games he and his associates are running at any given time. The Thiefmaker takes him aside and tells him that he'd be happy to train Locke with the others, but he'd need some kind of assurance that Locke would be worth the trouble, at which point Locke produces two purses he stole. For example, when he first comes to Shades' Hill, he's surplus, a stray who attached himself to the kids the Thiefmaker bought. Fans of lavishly appointed fantasy will be in seventh heaven here, but it will be nearly as popular with readers of literary crime fiction. Locke himself can fall into the attitude between the end of his most recent giant crazy plan and the beginning of another one; Jean theorises that without the thrill of the hustle, Locke genuinely wants to die.

Scott Lynch is a con man, a conjuror, a wickedly entertaining juggler of words with knives up his sleeves and hatchets down his back. The Gray King's idea of revenge is to not just kill Barsavi and his entire family, but to give all the noble families (including their children, born years after his family was killed) who benefited from Barsavi's Secret Peace a Fate Worse than Death. This was however not the case, and she'd in fact gone to live under Father Chains' tutelage in the Temple of Perelando.Capa Raza has planned his revenge against Barsavi and the nobles of Camorr since childhood, when his parents were murdered as collateral damage from the Secret Peace.
