But he must survive,because he has a job to do.He must track down a murderer,teach his younger self how to be a good copper and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion.There's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife,no child,no future.
A Discworld Tale of One City,with a full chorus of street urchins,ladies of negotiable affection,rebels,secret policemen and other children of the revolution.
