When his old friend Werewolf phones him with a desperate call for help, streetwise chancer Angel has no choice but to respond – and finds himself plunged into another hair-raising adventure! This time he is well out of his comfort zone, travelling first to Guernsey and then to Brittany in France as he attempts to free his friend from the clutches of a gang of would-be drug dealers. Along the way he enlists the aid of Werewolf’s brother Gearoid – a highly unconventional bee-keeping monk – a second-rate heavy metal band, and the mad, bad and definitely dangerous-to-know Lucinda L Luger. Will the cavalry arrive in time to save Werewolf …?
‘The best yet in the Angel canon. Nobody does it like Ripley, quite the deftest hand in comic crime.’ - Literary Review.
‘His writing is faultless … Ripley’s latest is as boisterous and inventive as ever …’ - Time Out.
‘Essential reading.’ - Daily Telegraph.
‘Ripley produces funny lines as often as most people breathe.’ - The Times.
‘Packed with surreal people, canny observations … this book is a joy to behold. Mike Ripley keeps up a breakneck pace, and the wisecracks fly as fast as the bullets.’ - Liverpool Daily Post.
Another of Telos Publishing’s reissues of celebrated British author Mike Ripley’s series of comic crime novels featuring Fitzroy Maclean Angel.
