An attempted assassination and a theft soon lead to a desperate chase from the low halls of Discworld royalty to the legendary fat mines of Uberwald, where lard is found in underground seams along with tusks and teeth and other precious ivory artifacts. Of course where cops (even those clad in tights) go, alas, crime follows. The one role he relishes the other requires, well, ruby tights. He's been "invited" to attend a royal function as both detective and diplomat.
So where is it? When duty calls, Commander Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork constabulary answers. But weren't there supposed to be five? Indeed there were. Everyone knows that the world is flat, and supported on the backs of four elephants.
So what happened to the fifth elephant? An investigation of an attempted assassination leads Commander Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork constabulary on a wild goose-or rather, elephant-chase that will lead him to discover the truth about the missing pachyderm. But aren't there supposed to be five? Indeed there are. The flat world is supported on the backs of four elephants. Originally published: London: Doubleday, 1999
