Having failed to sell his memoirs to one newspaper, "Williams Of The Yard" is back to try to interest another one in his strangest ever case, of which he is the only man alive to know the full story. A case that never made headlines at the time, since there seemed no crime involved.A nasty outbreak of mumps leads to swollen glands in Pembrokeshire, and the young DI Williams is seconded to help on the peaceful West Wales coast, only to find that well-respected citizens have chosen that very summer to kill themselves, for no apparent reason.As ever, his memories of '60s Wales are clouded by time and excessive drink, so can he remember exactly which gorgeous young policewoman shared his investigations on any given night? Can he recall what was on telly on a Friday? With so many Joneses, Thomases and Williamses to choose from, did he even find the right suspects?Join the Inspector as he reminisces about a simpler time when PC only stood for Police Constable and where all the irritations of modern life had not been invented to vex him.
