Going Postal

Going Postal by Pratchett, Terry. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385603423.

Moist von Lipwig was a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morporks ailing postal service back on its feet. It was a tough decision. But he has 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. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too. Maybe itll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe its a death sentence either way. Or perhaps theres a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man whos prepared to push the envelope...
