Thud!

In Terry Pratchett's Thud!, City Watch Commander Sam Vimes is tasked with solving the murder of a prominent dwarf, a situation that threatens to escalate into civil war in the diverse city of Ankh-Morpork. The conflict between trolls and dwarfs, rooted in centuries of animosity, is further inflamed by tensions stirred by the victim's controversial provocations. As Vimes navigates a labyrinthine network beneath the city and contends with superstition and fear, he must unravel layers of animosity and intrigue, all while balancing his fatherly duties reading to his son. This satirical take on prejudice and ancient feuds is the seventh installment in the City Watch collection of the beloved Discworld series.
