IN THIS SEVEN-BOOK BOXSET:
BOOK 8: THE MISSING MILLIONAIRE
Wheelchair-bound Joshua Gumme has the Midas touch — in business, love and cards. That is, until his body is found floating in the River Don. Who killed him and why?
BOOK 9: THE MISSING THIEF
Two victims. One ultra-glamorous thief spotted fleeing the scene. Who is the mystery woman in the raincoat? And what is she running from? It’s up to DI Angel to piece it all together before the killer strikes again.
BOOK 10: FIND THE LADY
Can Angel find the lady in the blue dress? She’s already killed once. Witnesses swear they saw her at the grisly scene. But Angel knows that’s not possible. His prime suspect is in a portrait. And it’s over sixty years old.
BOOK 11: THE MISSING MODEL
Wigmaker Peter Wolff is found dead in his workshop. The place has been burned, leaving no clues, no DNA and no motive. Can Angel unravel the mystery of Wolff’s murder before anyone else pays the ultimate price?
BOOK 12: MURDER IN BARE FEET
Millionaire Charles Pleasant is shot dead in a scrapyard. Near the spent handgun shells, Angel finds one crucial clue: a print left by a bare foot. Who killed the playboy millionaire? And why ever weren’t they wearing shoes?
BOOK 13: THE MISSING HUSBAND
Wealthy Selina Line marries a man she hardly knows. Then she vanishes. Who stands to gain from her demise if not her new husband? There’s just one complication. As Angel soon realises, Selina’s husband never existed.
BOOK 14: THE CUCKOO CLOCK MURDERS
A writer is murdered on a lonely retreat. In his bed, the killer left a shocking something . . . And that’s not all. Wherever Angel goes, there’s a cuckoo clock. An unlikely coincidence or a threat he shouldn’t ignore?
MEET THE DETECTIVE
Fifty-something Michael Angel is married to Mary. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or Mary’s meddling sister, who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the local police station. He is committed to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort, but has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the bureaucracy and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, a lazy hypochondriac with not the slightest interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.
Filled with quirky characters and heart-stopping suspense, Roger Silverwood’s enthralling mysteries are perfect for fans of R.D. Wingfield, Colin Dexter, Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, and Agatha Christie.
