Bart Cash has problems.

He owns a fine country inn, and the Tíogar Ceilteach is in top form. But it is difficult for him to find a team, and he is determined to hire uneducated slackers. He and his wife are not greeting each other, even though she always spends a lot of money. But he has hidden money, unbeknownst to the Revenue Commissioners – and he will have even more when he finishes his great novel.
