Cranky Captain Sam Vimes faces Death when a malevolent mate reappears after 20 years in this Terry Pratchett-inspired comedy drama.

The City Watch’s cranky Captain Sam Vimes faces Death when a former friend reappears after 20 years, unchanged and vengeful. Add an over-eager new recruit, a disruptive aristocrat and a stolen library book to the mix, and matters get complicated.

An askew view of the people policing a city’s mean but magic-strewn streets, inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.
