If any of you are looking for a good fantasy novel which has a nice lack of the mystical swords of the white toblerone wizards, then The lies of Locke Lamora (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lies-Locke-Lamora-Gollancz-S-F/dp/0575079754/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213202630&sr=1-1) might fit your bill quite nicely.
Its a fantasy novel set in a medieval Venetian-like city in which the main character of the book Locke works as a confidence trickster along with his troop 'The Gentlemen Bastards', as is always the way, things start to get a little complicated.
All in all, Its a fine little page turner in my humble opinion.
I believe is also due to be made into a film.
