stolen is 'the Gonne' (to all intents and purposes a gun) and is unique in this pre-industrial world where fighting is done with swords, axes, crossbows, boots and teeth!
Soon Guild leaders, the Patrician and even Sam Vimes are being targeted, a dwarf mechanisms expert and a clown turn up dead and the race is on to find the villain behind these crimes, because gonnes don't kill people, people kill people or do they? This essentially is the mystery to be solved and the main plot of Men at Arms.
