Bootlegged Angel

Fitzroy Maclean Angel #9

by Mike Ripley

Angel finds himself working undercover for a brewery in darkest Kent, where bootlegging cheap beer from France is a growth industry. Angel manages to infiltrate one gang of imaginative, but amateur, smugglers and comes up against another whose members are anything but amateur, especially when it comes to violence. And to top it all, Angel finds himself in charge of a run-down country pub where boosting the turnover is dead easy as long as he can press gang a trio of catwalk models into acting as barmaids . . .
