Book description
London in the late 1980s - the era of Thatcherism and Loadsamoney - is
an exciting but sometimes dangerous place to live. Fitzroy Maclean Angel
gets by partly through gigging as a jazz trumpet player, partly through
taking illegal fares in his de-registered black taxi cab, and partly
through ... well, just being in the right place at the right time. And,
as he often says himself, it's better to be lucky than good. In Angel
Hunt, his third ecapade, Angel has an old university friend drop in on
him - quite literally, as he plummets to his death through a skylight
window! And that's just the start of Angel's troubles, as he gets his
arm twisted by the police to help with their enquiries into a group of
animal rights activists, who might just have something rather more
deadly on their minds than a bit of foxhunt sabotage ... Back in print
for the first time in a decade are the first three titles in Mike
Ripley's acclaimed 'Angel' series of comic crime novels. Each title
contains a specially-written introduction by the author. London in the
