InQ Episode 88: "The Lies of Locke Lamora"

Young Locke is an orphan, picked up in the street by the
Thiefmaker who teaches him and dozens of other children the fine
art of picking pockets. But when he goes too far, brings too much
attention to himself and ends up having another boy killed, Locke
is sold to the Eyeless Priest.


There a new life begins for Locke. The Eyeless Priest will teach
Locke, along with a few other boys, the art of thieving, of the
masquerade, of faking accents, how to pass for a Noble, for a
merchant, for a King even, turning his group of teenage boys into
the Gentlemen Bastards, the finest most capable band of bandits
this side of Camorr! Five young men, highly trained in lies and
masquerades, able to con and fool anyone and anything, Locke and
his Gentlemen Bastards are quite the group!


But that is without taking into account the ongoing feud between
the two main leaders of the thieves world. On the one hand Capa
Barsavi, to whom Locke owes allegiance, and on the other, the
mysterious Gray King who also wants a piece of the action, and
who thinks that Locke, with all his resources, might very well be
the best person to help him in his endeavor…
