书籍简介

据说卡莫尔的刺客在战斗中可以打败任何人。他们说他劫富济贫。他们说他一半是人，一半是神话，大部分是街头流言。他们在每个方面都错了。

洛克·拉莫拉身高一般，身材苗条，剑法惊人，是传说中的刺客，他强大的武器就是他的智慧和狡猾。他从富人那里偷东西——他们是仅一位值得偷的人——但穷人可以自己去偷。洛克用各种手段骗取、哄骗和诡计得到的东西，只属于他和他的同伙——绅士混蛋。

他们的领地是卡莫尔城。这座城市由一个无人记得的种族用 Elderglass 建造而成，是一座充满变幻莫测的狂欢、肮脏的运河、巴洛克式宫殿和拥挤的墓地的城市。这里居住着贵族、商人、士兵、乞丐、残疾人和野孩子。这里也是管理这座城市的犯罪主谋卡帕·巴萨维的家。

但有传言说有人在挑战卡帕的权力。挑战者是一个从未见过的人，一个刀剑无法触及的人。灰王来了。

一个人不要被夹在卡帕·巴萨维和灰王之间。即使是像卡莫尔之刺这样的剑术大师。至于洛克·拉莫拉……

They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count.

Only averagely tall, slender, and grace-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards.

Together their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city.

However, there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa's power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch. The Grey King is coming.

A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and The Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora ...
