The final part in the trilogy following the smash hits Aberystwyth Mon Amour and Last Tango in AberystwythThere is nothing unusual about the barrel-organ man who walks into private detective Louie Knight's office. Apart from the fact that he has lost his memory. And his monkey is a former astronaut. And he is carrying a suitcase that he is too terrified to open. And he wants a murder investigated. The only thing unusual about the murder is that it took place a hundred years ago. And needs solving by the following week. Louie is too smart to take on such a case but also too broke to turn it down. Soon he is lost in a labyrinth of intrigue and terror, tormented at every turn by a gallery of mad nuns, gangsters and waifs, and haunted by the loss of his girlfriend, Myfanwy, who has disappeared after being fed drugged raspberry ripple

'Malcolm Pryce is the king of Welsh noir he dishes up a dastardly mix of gothic comedy where Edgar Allen Poe meets Phoenix Nights in a flurry of blood-stained absurdity' Sunday Telegraph 'Marvellously imaginative You'll weep and laugh, on the same page. Wonderful' Guardian 'Exuberant comic fantasy The plots entangle with spontaneous combustion, poisoned ice-creams, the cloning of Jesus, buried skulls, sexy nuns, false names and lots of gunfire' Sunday Times 'Packed with witty and original writing things are blacker than ever, involving fast and furious plotting with many gruesome twists the quality of writing is to be relished on every page' Scotland on Sunday
