Making Money

'Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one'

The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it's time for a change of management. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss, and people actually want to know where the money's gone.

The thirty-sixth Discworld novel, now available in hardback as part of the Discworld Collector's Library.

The thirty-sixth Discworld novel, now available in hardback as part of the Discworld Collector's Library.

'Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one'

The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it's time for a change of management. Who would not wish for that job?

It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long.

The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless). It turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss, and people actually want to know where the money's gone.

A 300-year-old wizard is after his girlfriend, he's about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact, a lot of people want him dead.

Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies.

Everywhere he looks he's making enemies.

What he should be doing is... Making Money!
