While the second and third books in Malcolm Pryce's Abertystwyth series didn't quite make it for me--I thought he had tried to stretch the material too far--this fourth mystery is probably the best of the bunch. It's Christmastime in Aberystwyth and Santa (the only Jewish man in town) is shot dead. The Queen of Denmark wants the case solved, but the pressure is so great that Louie and Calamity split. Louie has to deal with another out-of-town cop, a Pieman, Mossad, the Pinkertons, and more besides before he can get to the bottom of what turns out to be another Patagonian war story--and maybe get back Myfanwy as well.
