The fourth Louie Knight noir in the parallel universe where Aberystwyth is home to, among others, veterans of the Patagonian war. With most of the
characters continuing from the previous novels, the murder of Father Christmas starts the story off with Adolf Eichmann, Buth Cassidy and the
Sundance Kidd, Etta Place, Mossad and Pinkertons all playing a part. This is a briliant mix of noir and spy fiction with the latter being dominant. The many twists are reminiscent of the spy thrillers where no-one is quite who or
what they seem to be with the whole revolving around the solidness of the
ongoing cast led by Knight, his partner Calamity, his father Eeyore and his
recovered love Myfanwy. Brilliant in both conception and execution.
