If Moist follows their example, he won’t be missed. Four of Vetinari’s best men have died trying. The catch: he must get the city’s long-defunct Post Office back in working order. Lord Vetinari tells him that Alfred Spangler has been buried, but Moist von Lipwig has a chance to start over. The next thing Moist knows, he is sitting in the office of the Patrician. Arrested and tried under the alias Alfred Spangler, he is sentenced to be hanged. Through one scam after another Moist has become very rich, but he keeps working his trade anyway, because he enjoys doing it.Īll that ends, however, when the Watch of Ankh-Morpork catches up with him. He changes his appearance, changes his address, and with his gift of persuasion he changes the net worth of a lot of people, usually by taking advantage of their innate greed. Especially if you were a con artist with a forgettable face and a criminal mind. If you had a name like Moist von Lipwig, you would probably change it.
