Summary
Who would want to harm Discworld's most
beloved icon? Very few things are held sacred in this twisted,
corrupt, heartless -- and oddly familiar -- universe, but the
Hogfather is one of them. Yet here it is, Hogswatchnight, that
most joyous and acquisitive of times, and the jolly old,
red-suited gift-giver has vanished without a trace. And there's
something shady going on involving an uncommonly psychotic
member of the Assassins' Guild and certain representatives of
Ankh-Morpork's rather extensive criminal element. Suddenly
Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming
rate. Drastic measures must be taken, which is why Death
himself is taking up the reins of the fat man's vacated sleigh
. . . which, in turn, has Death's level-headed granddaughter,
Susan, racing to unravel the nasty, humbuggian mess before the
holiday season goes straight to hell and takes everyone along
with it.
