From the Inside Flap:
Subterranean Press is proud to announce the limited edition of one of the best fantasies of the past decade.The Thorn of Camorr is said to be an unbeatable swordsman, a master thief, a ghost that walks through walls. Half the city believes him to be a legendary champion of the poor. The other half believe him to be a foolish myth. Nobody has it quite right.Slightly built, unlucky in love, and barely competent with a sword, Locke Lamora is, much to his annoyance, the fabled Thorn. He certainly didn't invite the rumors that swirl around his exploits, which are actually confidence games of the most intricate sort. 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. All of Locke's gains are strictly for himself and his tight-knit band of thieves, the Gentlemen Bastards.Locke and company are con artists in an age where con artistry, as we understand it, is a new and unknown style of crime. 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. Caught up in a murderous game, Locke and his friends will find both their loyalty and their ingenuity tested to the breaking point as they struggle to stay alive...The Lies of Locke Lamora will be illustrated with a full color cover, and four full page illustrations by Edward Miller.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Original Gollancz hardcover first edition of Scott Lynch s first book in the Gentleman Bastards Series published in 2006. This book had a modest print run with it being published simultaneously in paperback. Signed and doodled by Scott Lynch to the title page. A fine unread hardcover in a near fine jacket. The jacket has slight shelf wear to the foil coating, a flaw that is present on almost all copies of this book due to the fragile nature of the foil coating. A lovely example of this very collectible book.********SHIPPED IN A BOX WITH PLENTY OF PROTECTION. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 9427
