Duty calls Commander Vimes, even when he'd rather not answer. Summoned to a royal function, Vimes soon finds himself investigating an attempted assassination and a baffling theft. The trail leads from Ankh-Morpork's nobility to the legendary fat mines of Uberwald, where a missing pachyderm hides among tusks and teeth. With a familiar cast of trolls, dwarves, werewolves and vampires in tow, the dauntless Vimes must unravel the puzzle of the vanished fifth elephant.
