Liona Keeble is a slightly manic young man who runs a job exchange in Cheap Street. It is the first of its kind in Ankh-Morpork. He gets a decidedly nasty shock when Death turns up wanting a job during the events of Mort - especially when He reveals Himself as Death.
The only job Mr Keeble can think of is as assistant chef at Sham Harga's House of Ribs.
