What this book is about
The thirty-ninth Discworld novel and eighth City Watch book follows Sam Vimes on an unwanted rural holiday, where he discovers that a goblin has been murdered. The novel is one of Pratchett's most directly political — arguing for goblin rights with the same passion he brought to werewolf rights in earlier books. Pratchett at this point was writing with Alzheimer's already affecting him; the novel is remarkable for its moral clarity. Clean content in Pratchett's tradition.
