Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the eighth book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.
'Effortlessly, generously funny' Sunday Times
‘Pratchett at his best’ 5-star reader review
'The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.'
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some time off. Apparently.
But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.
In the seemingly peaceful countryside, Vimes discovers much more than a body in the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep, dark secret. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder.
Vimes is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.
They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ...
Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX

O avtorju
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
