Angel In The House by Mike Ripley

Angel In The House by Mike Ripley

Streetwise chancer Fitzroy Maclean Angel, faced with the prospect of parenthood and a move to the country, has to do the unthinkable - get a job. At the insistence of his fashion designer wife Amy May, he joins Rudgard & Blugden Confidential Investigations, a previously all-female private detective agency. While trying to solve a seemingly impossible crime involving stolen botox, he is distracted by a vivacious redhead with a passion for salsa dancing; a Russian sailor dealing in old East German cars; an estate agent with a passion for Audrey Hepburn; and some very strange goings-on in country houses. Telos Publishing is proud to present another of its reissues of Mike Ripley's acclaimed series of comic crime novels - complete with a new, specially-written introduction by the author. 'Revving up at a laugh a line' - Observer. 'If laughter is the best medicine, Mike Ripley's Angel novels should be on National Health prescription.' - Val McDermid

Mike Ripley is the author of twenty-four comic thrillers and historical novels, and has twice won the Crime Writers' Association's Last Laugh Award. He writes the Getting Away With Murder monthly review column for Shots Magazine, and he's also the author of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a'reader's history' of British action and spy thrillers from 1953 to 1975, which received the H.R.F. In 2017, the Keating Prize for nonfiction was given. With Mr Campion's Goodbye (Severn House, 2014; Black Thorn, 2019), he finished a novel started by Margery Allingham's husband, Pip Youngman Carter, in 1969 but never finished. Mr Campion's Fox, Mr Campion's Fault, Mr Campion's Abdication, Mr Campion's War, Mr Campion's Visit, and Mr Campion's Séance, he considers his attempts to fly solo with, and do honour to, a great literary figure.
