Long ago in the Koom Valley of Ankh-Morpork a huge battle took place between the dwarves and the trolls. There has been animosity between them ever since. A dwarf named Grag Hamcrusher has been attempting to incite unrest between the trolls and dwarves until he is found bashed to death with a troll club left by his side. It is up to Commander Sam Vines of the City Watch to solve the murder before there is another war. What he discovers is a secretly built labyrinth of mines beneath the city which holds mysterious clues to the killing. While busy solving the murder, Vines insists on being home promptly at 6 p.m. every night to read "Where's My Cow" to his young son. This is classic Pratchett with all the strangeness and humor you expect. It's not my favorite of the series but it is still good. If you are keeping track, this is book 34 in the Discworld series and book 7 in the City Watch branch of the series.
