Klappentext
"Everyone knows that the world is flat, and supported on the backs of four elephants. But weren't there supposed to be five? Where is the fifth elephant? Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork constabulary is the man to find out. He's been "invited" to attend a royal function as a diplomat, ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald-complete with ruby tights. Of course where cops go, crime follows. 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. It's up to the dauntless Vimes to solve the puzzle of the missing pachyderm. After all, that's what he does. Only there are monsters on his trail-bright, fast, toothy werewolves. And they're catching up. The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Fifth Elephant is the 5th book in the City Watch collection and the 24th Discworld book"--Biografie
