Angels and Others

Angels and Others is the comprehensive, first ever collection of short stories by acclaimed British crime writer Mike Ripley, and comes complete with a specially-written author's introduction. Thirteen stories are featured, six of which involve Ripley's most famous creation, streetwise chancer Fitzroy Maclean Angel. And one of these Angel stories, 'Ealing Comedy', is exclusive to this collection - Ripley's first new short story of any kind to appear in print for over 15 years As an added bonus, the book features the previously unpublished full script for an unmade TV movie adaptation of the novel Angels in Arms - a hilarious comic crime caper in which Angel attempts to free an old friend from the clutches of a gang of would-be drug dealers. 'Ripley produces funny lines as often as most people breathe.' - The Times.
