1 MILLION BOOKS READ! Meet Yorkshire’s finest (and quirkiest) detective. He’s no angel, despite his name.
Discover eight old-fashioned murder mysteries, full of red herrings, unforgettable characters, and Yorkshire humour. With more twists and turns than a cheap garden hose.
Detective Inspector Michael Angel is an old-school policeman who sometimes rubs his colleagues up the wrong way. He’s certainly got his flaws, but he never gives up on a case. He is always at odds with his boss Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who Angel thinks is a lazy hypochondriac and not a bit interested in serious police work.
Angel works at a small police station in the picturesque market town of Bromersley, South Yorkshire. He is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort. He doesn’t want a promotion — not with all the paperwork and stress that goes with it. His focus is on putting rogues behind bars and being a good husband to his wife Mary.
Each case that lands on Angel’s desk is more baffling than the last — much to his readers’ delight! So if you’re looking for a healthy dose of thoroughly reliable entertainment, look no further.
In this 8-book box set:
BOOK 1: THE MISSING NURSE Can Inspector Michael Angel find missing nurse Fiona Thomas? His gruesome trail of enquiries begins with a savage murder in an insane asylum over twenty years ago. But where will it lead?
BOOK 2: THE MISSING WIFE Lady Yvette, the beautiful wife of a local MP is found choked to death in a reservoir, robbed of her clothes and antique pearls. Inspector Angel is called in to investigate. But the evidence is scant and he has only his guile to rely on. Can he stop the choker before he strikes again?
BOOK 3: THE MAN IN THE PINK SUIT Celebrity art critic Frank P. Jones, aka “the Man in the Pink Suit”, shoots a wealthy industrialist. Jones strongly denies the charge, but he has the motive, the opportunity, a Walter PPK/S automatic, and no alibi. DI Angel must unravel the truth from the lies. Was Jones hypnotized, drugged, or is he simply a liar?
BOOK 4: THE MORALS OF A MURDERER Duncan McFee is savagely murdered in a distillery where he was chairman. He’s found in one of the vats used to make gin. Yet none of the suspects is burly enough to have delivered the fatal blow. Detective Inspector Michael Angel is called in to unravel the mystery.
BOOK 5: THE AUCTION MURDERS At the auction of Lord Ogmore’s estate, a man is stabbed to death with a silver dagger. Before long, DI Angel finds himself on the trail of a serial killer who leaves behind no clues, no fingerprints and no DNA. Angel has only one eye-witness — and he’s blind. Will Angel solve his toughest case yet?
BOOK 6: THE MISSING KILLER A masked man bursts into a quiet country club to confront a young couple. He says, “Your time is up. That girl is mine.” Then he kills one of them. Witnesses cannot identify him and DI Angel’s investigation seems doomed. Faced with vengeful gangsters, crooked police and mentally unstable young men, can Angel work it all out in time and walk away unscathed?
BOOK 7: THE UMBRELLA MURDERS An arsonist threatens to set fire to the luxury home of the local MP. DI Angel has two suspects. One has completely disappeared, the other is locked in a police cell. Will the umbrella man be able to execute his threat while still in police custody? DI Michael Angel must race against the clock to unravel this baffling mystery.
Book 8: THE MISSING MILLIONAIRE Wheelchair-bound millionaire businessman, Joshua Gumme, has the Midas touch. He's successful with women and in business. And he’s won more than two hundred straight games of cards. Everybody knows he cheats, they just don't know how. Then his body is found floating in the River Don. Who killed him and why? The suspects range from Gumme's son, who was left a pittance in his father’s will, to a heroin dealer. Meanwhile, Angel's investigations lead him on the track of two dangerous crooks. He attempts to find and arrest them. But they've got plans for him.
