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 mos
tly street-corner rumor.
And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely ta
ll, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and t
he 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.
