Angels and Others by Mike Ripley

Angels and Others by Mike Ripley

Angels and Others is the comprehensive, first ever collection of short stories by acclaimed British crime writer Mike Ripley, and comes complete with a specially-written author's introduction. Thirteen stories are featured, six of which involve Ripley's most famous creation, streetwise chancer Fitzroy Maclean Angel. And one of these Angel stories, 'Ealing Comedy', is exclusive to this collection - Ripley's first new short story of any kind to appear in print for over 15 years As an added bonus, the book features the previously unpublished full script for an unmade TV movie adaptation of the novel Angels in Arms - a hilarious comic crime caper in which Angel attempts to free an old friend from the clutches of a gang of would-be drug dealers. 'Ripley produces funny lines as often as most people breathe.' - The Times.

Mike Ripley is the author of the award-winning 'Angel' series of comedy thrillers which have twice won the CWA Last Laugh Award. Described as 'England's funniest crime writer' (The Times), he is also a respected critic of crime fiction, writing for the Guardian, Daily Telegraph and The Times. He writes a hugely respected monthly review column for Shots Magazine.

Ripley first learned of the final unfinished Campion novel when he was a guest speaker at the Margery Allingham Society's annual convention. He offered - and received the Margery Allingham Society's blessing - to complete the manuscript on the adventures of Albert Campion, who Ripley describes as 'one of the brightest stars in the rich firmament of British crime writing'.
