Night Watch

''DON''T PUT YOUR TRUST IN REVOLUTIONS. THEY ALWAYS COME ROUND AGAIN. THAT''S WHY THEY''RE CALLED REVOLUTIONS. PEOPLE DIE, AND NOTHING CHANGES.''

The twenty-fifth of May is an important, sombre day in Ankh-Morpork - the anniversary of one of the city''s bloodiest rebellions.

For Vimes finds himself back in his own rough, tough past with only a killer for company and a city on the brink of revolution to contend with. But he must survive, because he has a job to do: track down the murderer and change the outcome of the rebellion.
