Lord Vetinari, who had arranged for Lipwig to only be hanged "to within half an inch" of his life, offers Moist a job as the new Postmaster General, or he can walk out the door and "never hear from me again". However, the hangman fakes his execution and Moist wakes up in the Patrician's office. Moist von Lipwig is a travelling fraudster who is finally arrested in Ankh-Morpork under the name of Albert Spangler. Or perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope. Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way. Getting a date with Adora Belle Dearheart would be nice, too.
Moist von Lipwig is a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet.īut he's got to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer.
