Plot

Locke Lamora, son of a mother now dead and a father he never knew, is sold to a thief captain in the port city of Camorr, to be trained in the art of stealing. He turns out to be extraordinarily gifted in that regard, but also shows a considerable amount of recklessness, as well as little care for the Secret Peace between the criminal underworld and the rich and powerful of the city. He is soon passed on to Father Chains, a priest of the nameless god of thieves, who wants to make him part of a small group of outstanding tricksters and con men, the Gentlemen Bastards.
