Angel Underground - Paperback

by Mike Ripley (Author)

Manipulated by his mother into helping out with a chaotic archaelogical dig in rural Suffolk, Angel is surprised when his fashion-designer wife Amy insists on accompanying him. In charge of the dig is an elderly eccentric apparently convinced that he will find the remains of Queen Boudica's royal mint on his own property. However, there have been sinister accidents on site and several diggers have been attacked - and, with his usual knack for finding trouble, Angel gets drawn into investigating a mystery far more recent than the Iron Age ... Telos Publishing is proud to present another in its range of reissues of Mike Ripley's acclaimed series of comic crime novels - complete with a new, specially-written introduction by the author. 'Ripley is everything I hate in other writers. His plotting, characterisation, dialogue and scene setting are superb, and he is laugh-aloud funny. I am insanely jealous.' - R D Wingfield.
