A special hardback gift edition of classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett the eighth book in
the City Watch series part of the Discworld novels. 'Effortlessly generously funny' Sunday
Times ' Pratchett at his best' 5-star reader review 'The jurisdiction of a good man extends
to the end of the world.' Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some
time off. Apparently. But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged
that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his
first corpse. In the seemingly peaceful countryside Vimes discovers much more than a body in
the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep dark secret. There are many many bodies
- and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder. Vimes is out of his jurisdiction out of
his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a
punishment. They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ...
