Detective Inspector Angel is called out to investigate the murder of millionaire film writer/producer, Peter Santana. His body is found in a lonely farmhouse where he used to hide himself away to write. Angel is mystified to find among the clues a dead pig in a silk nightdress in Santana’s bed. His further investigations become more mystifying and dangerous as he notices that wherever he makes even an inquiry there’s a cuckoo clock on the wall. The South Yorkshire town of Bromersley has cuckoo clocks everywhere. The DI and his team of regulars race to solve the murder, prevent more mayhem, and unravel the mystery of the cuckoo clock scam.
Roger Silverwood writes crime stories about Detective Inspector Michael Angel who lives tolerably happy with his wife Mary in the town of Bromersley in South Yorkshire, UK.
Angel isn't a drunk. He doesn't take drugs. He doesn't smoke, he stopped a year or two back. He doesn't usually chase other women but sometimes he has a fancy and would like to. He's usually hard up and in debt but, up to now, has stayed honest.
He has a reputation of always 'getting his man' - like the Mounties. That's not because he is especially gifted, it's because he's dogged, stubborn, thorough and will use unusual methods if necessary.
If you start reading about him, you'll probably stay reading about him.
