For many young people, physical education is more a source of stress than enjoyment—often marked by anxiety, frustration, and disengagement.

Dies ist die Geschichte von Locke Lamora - Meisterdieb, Lügner und wahrer Gentleman. Aus seiner Heimat Camorr geflohen, macht er sich nun auf nach Tal Verrar, wo er zusammen mit seinem Freund Jean das dortige Spielkasino um seine Schätze erleichtern will. Das erregt die Aufmerksamkeit des Oberbefehlshabers der Stadt, der die beiden Ganoven zwingt, für ihn auf hoher See einen Krieg anzuzetteln. Doch er hat nicht mit den Piraten des Messing-Meeres gerechnet...

Locke Lamora ist ein Held. Nein, eigentlich ist er das nicht: Er ist ein Dieb, ein Lügner und ein Ganove, wenn auch mit guten Manieren. Mit seiner Bande bewegt er sich in den Kanälen und engen Gassen des Herzogtums Camorr, um die Nobilität um ihre Schätze zu erleichtern. Und darin ist Locke unschlagbar, denkt er zumindest. Bis ein weiterer Verbrecher in Camorr auftaucht. Locke muss handeln - und das Abenteuer seines Lebens beginnt.

Doveva essere il colpo più clamoroso della loro carriera, invece si è rivelato un... clamoroso fiasco. Così Locke e il suo fedele compagno Jean sono riusciti a malapena a salvare la pelle. Almeno, Jean ci è riuscito: Locke sta morendo, avvelenato in modo lento ma inesorabile da una sostanza che nessun alchimista o dottore può combattere. Ma quando la fine sembra ormai vicina, una donna misteriosa offre a Locke un'opportunità che potrà salvarlo, o ucciderlo. Le elezioni del Konseil sono imminenti, e le diverse fazioni hanno bisogno di una pedina da muovere a loro piacimento.

Nella misteriosa città di Camorr un orfano ha vita dura, e spesso breve. Ma il giovane Locke Lamora riesce a eludere la morte e a non farsi catturare come schiavo, fino a diventare un furfante provetto sotto la tutela del Forgialadri, un talentuoso artista della truffa. A capo della banda di fratelli dalle dita leste, noti come Bastardi Galantuomini, Locke diventa presto celebre, e si fa beffe persino del più temuto re della malavita.

Locke Lamora, Meisterdieb, Lügner und wahrer Gentleman, ist mit seinem Kumpan Jean nur knapp dem Piratentod entronnen. Nun ist er wieder auf Beutejagd, doch dann begegnet er einer Frau, die er längst tot glaubte: Sabetha, seine wahre Liebe - und die ist entschlossen, Locke ein für alle Mal zu vernichten, im Auftrag der finsteren Soldmagier. Für Locke und Jean geht es nun um alles oder nichts.

Dopo un violento combattimento con la malavita che li ha quasi uccisi, Locke e il suo fedele compare Jean fuggono dalla città in cui sono nati e approdano agli esotici lidi di Tal Verrar per curarsi le ferite. Ma neppure all'estremità occidentale del mondo civilizzato possono riposare, e presto tornano a dedicarsi a ciò che sanno fare meglio: rubare ai ricchi e intascare il ricavato. Questa volta il loro obiettivo è oltremodo ambizioso: la torre di Peccapicco, la casa da gioco più esclusiva e più sorvegliata che ci sia.
