When Inspector Daf Dafis learns that the National Eisteddfod, the nation's great cultural festival, is coming to his neck of the woods, his idea was to rent out his bungalow to those who were into that sort of thing and to make his way without delay to a Greek beach. But life's never quite that simple. What with family issues, romantic complications, the accident which befell the Virgin of the Vale and Dyfed Powys Police's decision to cancel all leave for Welsh speakers, Daf has to stay. A darkly comic tale of lust, violence, revenge and strict metre poetry set in the heart of rural Wales.
