Londres, años treinta. Una larga cola frente al teatro Woffington espera impaciente para ver la comedia musical del momento. De pronto, un hombre cae al suelo apuñalado por la espalda. Ni el estado de shock de la señora Ratcliffe, testigo más próxima a la víctima, ni el té en el camerino de la encantadora Ray Marcable, estrella del musical, parecen arrojar luz al caso. Y sin embargo nuestro intuitivo inspector Alan Grant ya tiene a su culpable: se trata de Jerry Lamont, mejor amigo de la víctima, un hombre de aspecto extranjero que huyó de la cola y cuya pista se sitúa ahora en un pueblecito de las Tierras Altas escocesas. Con su traje de pesca en la maleta a modo de camuflaje, Grant se sube al primer tren rumbo a Escocia dispuesto a cazar a su asesino. Pero no es oro todo lo que reluce, y puede que este caso tenga algún que otro cabo suelto que atar (y más de un prejuicio a desterrar).

There are so many strange and wonderful connections and coincidences; shared passions and associations that tie these two cultural icons – BOB DYLAN and DYLAN THOMAS together. This provides a rich tapestry – from the ancient Welsh folk tales of the Mabinogion to the poems of the Beat Generation; from Stravinsky to John Cale; from Johnny Ray to Charlie Chaplain. Rimbaud and Lorca, Sgt Pepper and The Bells of Rhymney, Nelson Algren and Tennessee Williams and much more. And the wonderful connections between authors K G Miles and Jeff Towns makes it the perfect partnership to write this book. Fifty-two years ago, author Jeff Towns opened his first bookstore in Swansea – he called it Dylans Bookshop – a youthful homage to the poet Dylan Thomas born and raised in Swansea, an author he admired. Eight years before that, in 1962, (when he had never really heard of Dylan Thomas), he had bought his first ever LP record, Bob Dylan's first ever LP release calledBob Dylanwith a track list; In My Time of Dyin', Fixin' to Die, See That My Grave is Kept Clean and so on; baker's dozen of powerful songs. Jeff read that his new hero had been born Robert Zimmerman but had changed his name to BOB DYLAN, a homage to a Welsh poet named DYLAN THOMAS. From that moment on THE TWO DYLANS became a constant part of and backdrop to his life. And the two Dylans kept on giving – they were both on the cover of the Beatles Sgt Pepper album. Peter Blake who fashioned the cover of Pepper, was a huge fan on Dylan Thomas' radio play Under Milk Wood. Jeff went to see Peter, they became friends and still are. Peter gave permission to use his wonderfulTiny Tina the Tattooed Lady©Peter Blake image for the cover of this book. London co-author K G Miles has been inspired by BOB DYLAN since being an awestruck child at Bob's Isle of Wight Festival in 1969. He is now the co-curator the of theDylan Room at London's Troubadour Cluband was honoured to address the inaugural conference at the Tulsa Archive in 2019.

The Catholic Church has a visible head, the Pope, and an invisible head, Jesus Christ. In order for the Church to safely fulfill its mission, Christ promised His assistance and sent the Holy Spirit. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit, the popes taught that religious freedom is a false doctrine worthy of condemnation. The Council of 1965, rejected this teaching. Hubertus Huber, has asked himself, can God (the Holy Spirit) err? When God errs, he is not God. He never changes his decisions. Only people can err. Hubertus Huber wrote some writings in which he dealt with this subject. Soon he stood alone with his "aberrant" thoughts. In this situation he asked God for help. He promised to burn everything if he did not find proof for the correctness of his writings. A few days later he met a priest who told him they had overlooked an important argument and he brought him a calendar with the coronation oath of the popes. The Coronation Oath is a contract between Christ and His Vicar. According to this contract, any change in doctrine, rites and tradition, leads to "BANN or excommunication. This punishment hit in 1965, 2,400 bishops who had voted in the Council, against the teaching of the Church. In order to cover up the bishops' ban, the coronation oath was embezzled and deleted from the doctrine. Today it is unknown among theologians and universities. The embezzlement was an attack on God and His teaching. For Hubertus Huber the miraculous guidance, to the coronation oath of the popes, was the requested proof for the correctness, of his writings. In this book, the decline of the Catholic Church to a priestless sect, is described in detail.
