City of Thieves (ISBN 0140316450) is a single player roleplaying gamebook in the Fighting Fantasy series, written by Ian Livingstone and released in 1983. It is the fifth book in the series, and introduces the corrupt and dangerous city-state of Port Blacksand (the "City of Thieves") which would feature in many further Fighting Fantasy books.

Story

The prosperous town of Silverton is being held ransom by the sorcerer Zanbar Bone. Every night, Bone releases his vicious Moon Dogs to stalk the streets of the town and kill anyone they find, until the mayor agrees to hand over his daughter. Instead, the mayor hires the reader to kill Bone.

In order to kill the wizard, however, the player needs to seek advice from the wizard Nicodemus, who resides in Port Blacksand, a crime-ridden coastal city-state. The player therefore has to gain entrance to the city and find the wizard while avoiding the thieves, traps and corrupt City Guard.
