It's a rat-eat-rat world . . . Every town on Discworld knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice - a streetwise tomcat with his very own plague of rats - has the perfect insider-dealing scam going. Until he runs across someone playing a different tune. Now he and his rats must learn a new concept: evil. And it's time for everyone to stop relying on stories and to start using independent thought . . .

Industry Reviews

"An enticing and occasionally gory introduction to the master of flat earth... proves that the Pied Piper of Hamelin was a front for an insider-dealing scam... alongside the gags and pest-control politics, there are enough complex ideas about nature, nurture and understanding to satisfy a wide audience" Observer "One of Terry Pratchett's funniest creations of recent years ... It all adds up to a wonderful book - hilarious, brilliantly constructed and, especially towards its conclusion, shot through with an edginess to balance the laughs" SFX "The humour is sophisticated and demands that the reader keep up to speed. A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the pages" Daily Telegraph "Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated" Guardian "An astonishing novel ... I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places ... Were Terry not demonstrably a master craftsman already, The Amazing Maurice might be considered his masterpiece" Financial Times
