The Truth

‘A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on…’*

There's been a murder. Allegedly. William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld’s first newspaper. He must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist’s life – people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped vegetables. 

Meanwhile, as William fills his pages with reports, dark forces high up in Ankh-Morpork's society are plotting to overthrow the city's ruler, Lord Vetinari.
