Review
Three cheers for an exemplary hero who has never made an excuse and left. Ripley on rich and ribald form (Literary Review)
Exuberant, laugh-aloud fun and cleverness... but there is in addition, an edge and an anger. (Marcel Berlins The Times)
.. like fine malt whisky, Angel is high proof and totally addictive (Time Out)
I never read Ripley on trains, planes or buses. He makes me laugh and it annoys the other passengers.' (Minette Walters)
Farce of the highest calibre. (Guardian)
The outrageous, riproaring Mr Ripley is an abiding delight (Colin Dexter)
Book Description

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. Winner of the British Crime Writers' Association Last Laugh Award. The 4th title in the humorous Angel series. "A cabbie and part-time musician, Angel responds to a cry for help phoned in by his best friend, roadie Francis (Werewolf) Dromey, who has fallen afoul of a Breton "liberation group" by smashing up and losing possession of a truck in which they had hidden a shipment of drugs without the Werewolf's knowledge. Warned that the group will kill his friend if he doesn't find and return the drugs, Angel sets off, aided by his exotic former girlfriend, Lucinda (Lu Lu) Luger, who at 64 towers over the members of the heavy-metal band she manages, and by Werewolf's brother, Gearoid, a beekeeping monk. They find the drugs, which turn out to be Ecstasy tablets, but discover that the original Dutch dealer is also after the shipment. In another twist, the kidnappers tell Angel he will have to smuggle the drugs back to Britanny before they release Werewolf. Gearoid comes up with an ingenious hiding place that enables the team to transport the tablets across the Channel, but working out the trade proves far more dangerous, as neither the French nor the Dutch players plan to take any prisoners. A battle of wits and bullets provides a very lively resolution." -- Publishers Weekly. Book. Seller Inventory # 006616

Cloth. Condition: Very Good/Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. So it seems, for when your name is Werewolf, when you've broken your leg, been kidnapped in a foreign country, are being held to ransom for a consignment of drugs you didn't even know you were carrying, and have five days to live before being executed by a bunch of urban terrorists you've never heard of: who else you gonna call? And when Angel gets the call from his old and disreputable friend, he just has to get involved in tracking down a shipment of drugs mistakenly smuggled in from France. On the trail, he encounters Werewolf's brother Gearoid, a wolf in sheeps clothing if ever there was one; a second-rate but very loud Heavy Metal band; a trendy young Dutchman as well-armed as he is well-dressed; and the mad, bad and definitely dangerous-to-know Lucinda L. Luger. And then he has to face the bad guys. Assembling an invasion force of (roughly) 28,002 weird and wonderful allies, Angel lands in France and rides to the rescue. Will his improvised cavalry arrive in time? No Problem. Very slight wear to D/J. Seller Inventory # 009633
