Schoolboys are disappearing all over Aberystwyth and nobody knows why. Louie Knight, the town's private investigator, soon realises that it is going to take more than a double ripple from Sospan, the philosopher cum ice-cream seller, to help find out what is happening to these boys and whether or not Lovespoon, the Welsh teacher, Grand Wizard of the Druids and controller of the town, is more than just a sinister bully. And just who was Gwenno Guevara?

Hmm. Bit of a mixed bag this one. Set in an alternate Aberystwyth run by the Druids, private investigator Louie Knight walks those mean streets trying to find out who's killing off local schoolboys. And why is headmaster and chief Druid Lovespoon building an Ark. What is the secret of the doomed raid on Rio Caeriog during the Welsh-Patagonian War....no stay with me here. Amusing but a big saggy in the middle, this is a good book to while away the hours if you have nothing better to read. I suspect this is the best of the series.
