When Dirk Dilly gets a call from a distraught wife, he thinks perhaps the husband is simply being unfaithful and, not expecting much in the way of exciting crimes to solve, he sets off to follow the husband. But he couldn't be more wrong and soon he is up to his scaly neck in stolen government secrets, wicked and treacherous dragons, and a confused Prime Minister's son. Of course, nothing is too difficult when you can rely on a good friend like Holly to help you out.
