From the Back Cover

Almost before he knows it, Angel is on his latest case, which involves a dubious religious cult, an impoverished minor aristocrat with a love of classic cars, a very shady solicitor and his extremely odd wife.

And he has to cope with his new partner in detection, Veronica Blugden, the most politically incorrect female PI in London, to whom his faithful cat Springsteen has taken a violent and instant dislike.

As if this wasn't enough, Angel also undertakes to find out why Veronica's office is being vandalised and where his bike-riding friend Crimson is getting all that mysterious white powder…

‘The celebrated Ripley one-liners turn up all over the place. It's sharp and very funny’
