When one of the world's most acclaimed fantasy writers turns a classic fairy tale on its head, no one will ever look at the Pied Piper-or rats-the same way again!
Set in bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld, this masterfully crafted, gripping read is both compelling and funny. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits.įor this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. Finding these rodents reveals a primal darkness that the Educated Rodents thought they had left behind them. They end up in Bad Blintz, where all of the rats are missing and the rat-catchers look decidedly dodgy. The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. Maurice brings together the rats, along with the seemingly simple Keith as their piper, and decides to con as many people as they can. Were Terry Pratchett not demonstratively a master craftsman already, The Amazing Maurice might be considered his masterpiece." -Neil Gaiman
