Summary
EDITORIAL REVIEW: It's murder in
Discworld! -- which ordinarily is no big deal. But what bothers
Watch Commander Sir Sam Vimes is that the unusual deaths of
three elderly Ankh-Morporkians do not bear the clean, efficient
marks of the Assassins' Guild. An apparent lack of any motive
is also quite troubling. All Vimes has are some tracks of white
clay and more of those bothersome "clue" things that only serve
to muck up an investigation. The anger of a fearful populace is
already being dangerously channeled toward the city's small
community of golems -- the mindless, absurdly industrious
creatures of baked clay who can occasionally be found toiling
in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages
are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy --
which would be bad enough even if the "king" they were grooming
wasn't as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.
