Reluctantly, they agree to one final heist, but in the town of Bad Blintz things go horribly, hilariously wrong. The motley con artists' pied piper scam is highly successful-until the rats develop a conscience. For this outrageously cheeky tale, British writer Pratchett pairs a dynamite plot with memorable characters-a group of intelligent rats sporting such monikers as Hamnpork, Big Savings and Darktan (they've been foraging in the University of Wizards' garbage dump and come up with "the kind of name you gave yourself if you learned to read before you understood what all the words actually meant"), plus a "stupid-looking kid" with a flute and a criminal kitty mastermind named Maurice.
