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.
Please note this book was first published as “THE WIGMAKER”
Peter Wolff, a wigmaker, is found dead with his workshop set on fire. There are no clues, no DNA and no apparent motive. Detective Inspector Michael Angel is baffled.
ONE MURDER. ONE BURGLARY. TWO MISSING PEOPLE. AND SOME JEWEL THEFTS
At the same time, supermodel Katrina Chancey disappears; womaniser Gabriel Grainger is reported missing by his long-suffering wife; Lord Tiverton is robbed of a valuable suit of armour; and jewel robberies by The Fox continue unabated.
Then another body is discovered in peculiar circumstances.
ANGEL HAS TOO MUCH ON HIS PLATE
It's a race to find the murderer and solve all the other mysteries. Inspector Angel tackles all this with his customary quirkiness and skill.
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.
Praise for Roger Silverwood
“Solid plotting, unpretentious writing, thoroughly reliable entertainment.” Morning Star
“A cast of characters you really want to populate with familiar faces of actors you see each week on TV — great fun.
Angel is terrific.” Books Monthly“Once again Silverwood combines a classic mystery plot with well-developed characters.” Publishers Weekly
