Family of Angels by Mike Ripley
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!
- '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
