About the author
Scott Lynch is an American fantasy writer best known for the Gentleman Bastard sequence. Before publication he held a range of jobs and trained as a firefighter, experience reflected in the procedural attention his stories give to crews and emergencies.

Where to start
Start with The Lies of Locke Lamora and continue in publication order; the cons are self-contained enough to satisfy, but the friendships and consequences carry directly across the series.
