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.
It's a tough decision.
But he's got to see that the mail gets through, come rain,hail,sleet,dogs,the Post Office Worker's Friendly and Benevolent Society,the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company,and a midnight killer.
Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice,too.
Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed,or maybe it's a death sentence either way.
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 . . .
