A DETECTIVE WHO’S NO ANGEL DESPITE HIS NAME.
Discover a gripping series of murder mysteries set in south Yorkshire.
MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR MICHAEL ANGEL. AN OLD-SCHOOL POLICEMAN WHO SOMETIMES RUBS HIS COLLEAGUES UP THE WRONG WAY. HE’S GOT HIS FLAWS, BUT HE NEVER GIVES UP ON A CASE.
THE ONLY THING THAT CONNECTS THE SUSPECTS IS SNUFFBOXES
Inspector Angel and his team are looking for an antiques thief and murderer who tears out the tongue of anyone he fears might give him away.
The inspector believes that the murderer is following in the footsteps of Herman Lamm, an infamous villain of a century earlier.
The suspects are a disparate trio. The first is a conman who is always hovering near an antique gold statue; the second, Mr Van Hassain, is a diplomat and businessman; and the third is a rich inventor's beautiful wife.
The only link is that they are all interested in acquiring antique gold snuffboxes. It's not much to go on, but Inspector Angel is determined to catch the killer.
CAN ANGEL STOP A MURDERER BEFORE HE SNUFFS ANYONE ELSE OUT?
A BRILLIANTLY GRIPPING MYSTERY FULL OF TWISTS
Perfect for fans of R.D. Wingfield, Colin Dexter, Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, and Agatha Christie.
THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don’t have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary’s sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.
