Moist von Lipwig was a con artist, a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork\'s ailing postal service back on its feet.
In taking on the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer, he\'s also got to stay alive.
With the help of a golem who has been at the bottom of hole in the ground for over two hundred years, a pin fanatic and Junior Postman Groat, he\'s got to see that the mail gets through.
It was a tough decision.
