Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch has enough headaches about the looming conflict when an important dwarf turns up dead with all evidence pointing at the trolls.

Besides the threat of war, Vimes has paperwork piling up like mountains waiting for him while the Patrician, Lord Vetinari, makes certain political decisions Vimes is NOT happy about.

Policework aside, Vimes must also keep to his foremost duty of getting home at 6 o'clock sharp every night to read "Where's My Cow?" to his son, young Sam.
