NOVEMBER 2019 – At Sound Post we’re recording the Gentleman Bastards series of books by Scott Lynch, with award-winning actor and narrator Michael Page for Penguin Randomhouse. The Gentleman Bastards are elite con artists as well as masters of deception, disguise and fine cuisine. In ‘The Lies of Locke Lamora,” these ne’er-do-wells rob the rich of the city of Camorr, based on late medieval Venice but on an unnamed world.[2]
Two stories interweave: in the present, the Gentleman Bastards fight a mysterious Gray King taking over the criminal underworld; alternate chapters describe the history of Camorr and the Gentleman Bastards, in particular protagonist Locke Lamora.
