Making Money: Terry Pratchett

`Whoever said you can`t fool an honest man wasn`t one.`

The Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork is facing a crisis and needs a shake-up in management. Cue Moist von Lipwig, Postmaster General and former con artist. If anyone can rescue the city`s ailing financial institution, it`s him. He doesn`t really want the job, but the thing is, he doesn`t have a choice.

Moist has many problems to solve as part of his new role: the chief cashier is almost certainly a vampire, the chairman needs his daily walkies, there`s something strange happening in the cellar, and the Royal Mint is running at a loss.

Moist begins making some ambitious changes . . . and some dangerous enemies. Because money is power and certain stakeholders will do anything to keep a firm grip on both . . .

Making Money is the second book in the Moist von Lipwig series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
