An introduction to The Lies of Locke Lamora and the full Gentleman Bastards Sequence, to help you decide if you want to read this series.

This is a tale of a gang of thieves and liars who work long cons to steal from the rich. It's a ton of fun!

This is part of my series on Flintlock February! A month of exploring the Flintlock sub-genre.
