In the second book of the suspense-filled Gentleman Bastard Sequence, hailed by George R. R. Martin as âfresh, original, and engrossing,â Locke Lamora faces a caper so death-defying that nothing short of a miracle will pull it off.
For some, only a prize worth dying for makes life worth living. . . .
Â
After a brutal battle with the underworld, Locke and his sidekick, Jean, fled to the exotic shores of Tal Verrar to nurse their wounds. But they are soon back to what they do bestâstealing from the rich and pocketing the proceeds. Now, however, they have targeted the grandest prize of all: the Sinspire, the worldâs most exclusive, most heavily guarded gambling house. But there is one cardinal rule: it is death to cheat at any game.
Â
Brazenly undeterred, Locke and Jean have orchestrated an elaborate plan to lie, trick, and swindle their way straight to the Sinspireâs teeming vault. But someone knows the duoâs secretâand has every intention of making them pay for their sins. . . .
