Detective Sergeant Sally Reid has turned against Chillborough police to side with the criminal known as “Teacher”. This clever but hippyfied man is renowned for his exploits; extorting people and authorities, aided by his inordinate and quirky talent for hypnosis.
Sally has however, double-crossed him and taken £100,000 from him; money stolen from the Chillborough authorities and money pledged by Teacher to aid Serapis, the ancient deity to which he belongs. Now escaping to France, she leaves everything behind, including boyfriend Simon. She settles with Bethan and Eifion, in a Welsh café set on the Riviera, but it’s not long before she is found and pursued intently by Teacher, Serapis agents the British and French police!
