It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. At long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved and long-overdue holiday. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing. The balls, the teas, the muck—not to mention all that fresh air and birdsong—are more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper. The policeman is back on familiar ground when a body is found—the first of many, many corpses—and an ancient crime more terrible than murder is…

In Terry Pratchett’s delightful New York Times bestselling tale of crime, class, prejudice, and punishment, Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on vacation. But this is Discworld, where nothing goes as planned—and hilarious adventure ensues.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. And Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies and an ancient crime more terrible than murder. He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches, occasionally snookered and out of his mind, but never out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a finding, there must be a chase and there must be a punishment. They say…

Vuelve el universo fantástico de Mundodisco. Incluso cuando se va de vacaciones, el comandante Sam Vimes demuestra ser un policía hasta la médula. Lady Sybil ha conseguido por fin convencer a su marido, Sam Vimes, el comandante de la Guardia de Ankh-Morpork, de tomarse unas vacaciones. Pero conforme ella planifica unos merecidos días de descanso en el campo, él hace lo imposible para no abandonar su despacho. ¿El problema? El urbanita Vimes odia el campo: tanto aire fresco, tanto cantar de pájaros y, gracias a su bienintencionada esposa, tan escasos bocatas de beicon. Mientras Sybil toma el té en sociedad y su hijo se dedica a…

This is the countryside, after all. Everyone sees where you go and you never know who is behind a hedge. And if you’re very unlucky, the person behind the hedge could have very unfriendly intentions. It may look idyllic, but the countryside isn't all flowers and thatched cottages and bracing walks in your best tweed. Beneath the greenery lies a dark underbelly, and there’s something about rambling country houses that attracts dastardly plots and grisly murder. A challenge for any detective, but especially for one bred in the city who doesn't understand the Way Things Are Done. In the countryside, people know their place, and everyone else’s…

В жизни Сэмюэля Ваймса настали нелегкие дни: его отправляют в отпуск. Подумать только! К нему, всю свою жизнь посвятившему работе, отнеслись столь неблагодарно!.. Более того, бесстрашному командору предстоит поездка не на курорт (ах, золотистый песок, лазурные воды), а семейный выезд в Овнец-холл, в деревню. А ведь всем давно известно, что деревня так называется потому, что кроме деревьев там ничего нет! Тем более столь милых сердцу Ваймса преступлений… Впрочем, хороший стражник (если очень хорошо покопается) всегда найдет какое-нибудь завалящее преступленьице. А разве кто-то сомневается в способностях герцога Анкского? Впервые на…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient crime more terrible than murder. He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches; and out of his mind. But never out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment. They say that in the end all sins are forgiven.

У командора стражи Анк-Морпорка большие неприятности. Его отправляют... в отпуск в деревню. Сэмюэлю Ваймсу предстоит провести незабываемые две недели вдали от городской суеты и больших проблем в обществе любящей жены, любознательного сынишки и верного слуги Вилликинса. Мечта любого работяги, скажете вы? Только не в случае с человеком, не взявшим ни одного отгула за годы службы и даже выходные проводящим в ежеминутном ожидании срочных сообщений с работы. Ваймс совершенно не представляет, чем заняться в свободное время, и покорно ездит с женой в гости, устраивает приемы, гуляет по округе и хватается за любую возможность развлечься. Командора…

Жизнь командора Городской стражи Анк-Морпорка Сэма Ваймса невыносима. Его любящая жена леди Сибилла убедила его провести несколько заслуженных дней отпуска в чудесном и невинном деревенском краю. Вот только городской житель Ваймс ненавидит сельскую местность: так много свежего воздуха, там много пения птиц и, благодаря его заботливой жене, так мало сэндвичей с беконом… Но общеизвестно, что любой полицейский, пребывающий в отпуске, обнаруживает первый труп, не успев даже распаковать чемодан. И вскоре это правило сбывается. И вот уже Сэм Ваймс по уши увяз в расследовании. Ведь тут у нас не банальный скелет в шкафу, а горы, целые горы трупов и…

At long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved holiday away from the crime and grime of Ankh-Morpork. But for the commander of…
