A detective who’s no angel despite his name . . .

Meet Detective Michael Angel. An old-school policeman who sometimes rubs his team up the wrong way. He’s got his flaws, but he never gives up on a case.

One dead actor, murdered on set while the cameras roll.
When dashing Rodney Pertwee is shot dead at Northern Film Studios, everyone assumes it’s part of the script. Until Rodney’s leading lady spots a bloodstain that’s anything but fake.

Enter Inspector Angel. He arrives to find a room full of shaken witnesses. They all watched Rodney die. Yet no one saw the real-life shooter.
Who’s telling the truth — and who’s turning in an award-winning performance?

Out of the corner of his eye, Angel glimpses a mysterious woman in green, slipping out the exit. No one knows her name. Or what she was doing on the closed set.

Angel’s determined to find out. But he can’t do it without his loyal DC Scrivens — who’s
disappeared without a trace.

Can Angel track down his friend before the killer returns for one final cut?

My thoughts: This was really good, there was so much mystery around the identity and whereabouts of the probable murderer. This figure that was just out of Inspector Angel’s reach multiple times – he got so close.

But even before we got onto the murder, Angel had to rescue his number two, DC Scrivens, who had been abducted by the gang he brought down by arresting their leader.

Two investigations for the price of one!

This was hugely enjoyable and now I have the immense fun of exploring the rest of the series. Join me!
