Synopsis

Most families have a skeleton in the cupboard. Fitzroy Maclean Angel has a whole mortuary...It requires all Angel's streetwise talents to find a missing brother, uncover an outrageous Common Market drugs deal, survive sex on the Eurostar deep in the Channel Tunnel and solve the problem of just how you hide a field of cannabis? And if keeping his own estrange parents apart isn't hard enough, Angel has to contend with a family of East End gangsters involved in a curious case of the missing diesel fuel and stolen beer barrels. Still, if one man is up for the job his name just has to be Angel!

About this title

Review

The outrageous, riproaring Mr Ripley is an abiding delight (Colin Dexter)

Farce of the highest calibre. (Maxim Jakubowski Guardian)

... like fine malt whisky, Angel is high proof and totally addictive (Jim Driver Time Out)

Three cheers for an exemplary hero who has never made an excuse and left. Ripley on rich and ribald form. (Philip Oakes Literary Review)
