The Unbearable Lightness of Being in Aberystwyth

There was nothing unusual about the barrel-organ man who walked into private detective Louie Knight's office. Apart from the fact that he had lost his memory. And his monkey was a former astronaut on the Welsh Space Programme. And he carried a suitcase that he was too terrified to open. And he wanted a murder investigated. The only thing unusual about that was, it took place a hundred years ago. And he needed it solved by the following week. Louie was too smart to take a case like that but also too broke to turn it down.
