An arsonist and murderer threatens to set fire to the luxury home of the local MP. Detective Inspector Michael Angel has two suspects, and while one has completely disappeared, the other is securely locked up in a police cell. But what do the 12 umbrellas found hanging from his bedroom ceiling mean? Will the umbrella man be able to execute his threat while still in police custody? Meanwhile, the murder of a famous stage magician's beautiful assistant appears to be a copy of an unsolved crime committed 25 ago. Could both cases be related? Michael Angel must race against the clock to unravel 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.
