The Fifth Elephant #24

SAM VIMES IS A MAN ON THE RUN. YESTERDAY HE WAS A DUKE, A CHIEF OF POLICE AND THE AMBASSADOR TO THE MYSERIOUS, FAT-RICH COUNTRY OF UBERWALD.

Now he has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don`t ask). It`s snowing. It`s freezing. And if he can`t make it through the forest to civilization there`s going to be a terrible war.

But there are monsters on his trail. They`re bright. They`re fast. They`re werewolves – and they`re catching up.

The Fifth Elephant is Terry Pratchett`s latest instalment in the Discworld cycle, this time starring dwarfs, diplomacy, intrigue and big lumps of fat.
