He doesn’t chase woman like other detectives and is married to a woman named Mary. He’s ultimately an honest man, albeit one that is hard up and in debt. Angel has a reputation for always getting his man simply because he is incredibly stubborn and will do whatever it takes to finish the case.

If You Like Roger Silverwood Books, You’ll Love…
The Missing Nurse sees on the case of a missing nurse named Fiona. The story begins when a couple out walking at night surprises a man who was carrying a bag. The man is stirred and throws the bag and runs away. The bag ends up containing the body of a murdered woman and when they try to contact the dead woman’s sister, she is also found to be missing. This brings in Angel who unravels the case which takes him all the way back to a murder at an insane asylum twenty years ago. A great mystery with a great lead character that starts rough, but becomes funnier as it goes on.
Another popular book in the series is called The Morals of a Murderer. In this book, Angel is on the case of a gin maker named Duncan McFee who is savagely murdered in his distillery. This case is tricky enough for Angel, but then he also has a jailbird and bank robber named Morris Yardley who is trying to buy his freedom with the proceeds of his last heist, insisting Angel acts as his go-between.
