Synopsis

This book presents another hilarious adventure from the king of comedy crime. Angel, faced with impending parenthood, has to do the unthinkable and get a job. Working for Rudgard and Blugden Confidential Investigations, he has to plug the leak of stolen Botox from a supposedly secure laboratory, but he is distracted by a redhead with a passion for salsa dancing, a Russian sailor with a passion for old East German cars, an estate agent with a passion for Audrey Hepburn, and a redundant KGB officer trying to retrain as a gangster! Oh, and which brave soul is going to tell Angel's fearsome hippy mother that she's soon to be a grandmother?
