Angel Confidential

Fitzroy Maclean Angel’s latest hair-raising adventure involves a dubious religious cult, an impoverished minor aristocrat with a love of classic cars and a very shady solicitor with an extremely odd wife. Not only that, but he also has to cope with rookie private eye Veronica Blugden, find out why her office is being vandalised, and discover what his bike-riding friend Crimson is up to, selling all that mysterious white powder…

‘Nobody does it like Ripley, quite the deftest hand in comic crime.’ - Literary Review

‘No contest. If laughter is the best medicine, this should be available on National Health prescription. Crammed with one-liners that provoke groans and giggles in equal measure, Angel Confidential romps confidently along with enormous brio. All this, and a plot too!’ - Val McDermid

‘The celebrated Ripley one-liners turn up all over the place. It’s sharp and very funny.’ - Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

‘As always, Ripley offers sharp satirical comment on modern Britain, and London in particular.’ - George Osgerby, Tribune
