Author Biography:
Myfanwy Alexander was brought up in the hills of Montgomeryshire where she returned, not unlike a salmon but without fins, to raise her six daughters in a thatched farmhouse near Llanfair Caereinion. As a writer and broadcaster, she has numerous credits for comedy, drama and factual programmes, winning a Sony Comedy Award for her long-running satire show The LL Files. She is half of the Wales team on Radio 4's gloriously obscure Round Britain Quiz.

Further Information:
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.

'Fun and feisty and a welcome window on the real Wales.' Val McDermid
