Two detectives. Two friends. Two brothers. One bad man.
In the near future in a country very much like the Wales of today, thieves are stealing from under the noses of the snobs of Gerddi Hwyan, and aggravating Aled Colwyn and Richard King, the detectives who are on their trail.
In the meantime, Catrin is very worried about her best friend and business partner, Ceri, who is being abused by her husband; whilst the brothers Morgan and Prys Caradog are killing themselves for the sake of the construction business owned by their uncle, Mr C, without receiving the commendation or the financial rewards that they deserve.
But as the lives of the central characters intertwine and become uncontrollably complex, the story reaches a shattering climax in the highlands of Snowdonia. Will the true villain of this novel get their just deserts?
Part of the Gerddi Hwyan series.
