Family of Angels - Hardcover
Most families have a skeleton in the cupboard. Fitzroy MacLean Angel has a mortuary...
It requires all of Angel's streetwise talents to find a missing brother, uncover an outrageous Common Market drugs deal, survive sex on the Eurostar deep in the Channel Tunnel and solve the problem of just where do you hide a field of cannabis?
And if keeping his estranged parents apart isn't hard enough, Angel also has to contend with a family of East End gangsters involved in the curious case of missing diesel fuel and stolen beer barrels.
