When a man is savagely murdered in a distillery, yet none of the suspects is burly enough to have delivered the fatal blow, Detective Inspector Michael Angel is called in to unravel the mystery. He proves to be even more in demand when jailbird and bank robber Morris Yardley tries to buy his freedom with the proceeds of his last heist, insisting Angel acts as his go-between! An old lady in a sweetshop, a dog called Schwarzenegger and a whiff of menthol all have their part to play as Angel races to reveal the murderer in this unusual and chilling mystery.
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.
