Angel City

Fitzroy Maclean Angel #5

by Mike Ripley

Down on his luck and broke, Angel is forced to get two jobs - and one is definitely dodgy. He is drawn into a series of underworlds, from the twilight world of London's homeless to that of role-playing fantasies, where the monsters suddenly become real and the games aren't so funny any more.

Reviews

[Andrew Vachss · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sardonic, entertaining, and sometimes downright hilarious crime-writing with a distinctive UK slant.

[Jack Rego · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of deadpan humour to keep you entertained!

[Readelf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hillarious and worth it just for the unlikely LARP references
