The shenanigans of Locke Lamora

The first book in the series about the Noble Knights

Even as a child, Lok Lamore was such an intolerable master of lies that even a street gang of thieves tried to get rid of him. Over time, thanks to his intelligence and cunning, he is rumored to be half-human, half-myth. He steals from the rich—they are the only ones worth stealing from—but the poor can steal for themselves. What Locke takes possession of by trickery and deception belongs exclusively to him and his gang of swindlers and thieves - the Noble Rogues.
