Rule of Life No. 477: When a woman admits that it’s difficult for her to ask for something, leave immediately. Forgetting his own good advice, trumpet-player Angel (christened Fitzroy Maclean Angel) agrees to help the enigmatic Jo Scamp, a lady of brief but intimate acquaintance. And what begins with simple recovery of stolen jewellery develops into violence involving a deranged London gangster and a policeman with a vendetta. The nastiness comes unpleasantly close to home, but if you’ve a working knowledge of the seamy underside of London, a trusty black taxi called Armstrong and a cynical black cat called Springsteen to rely on, you can handle it . . . Can’t you? This is the first of Mike Ripley’s Angel books, successfully establishing the sharp and genuinely funny series.Related Items
