Discover a bestselling series of murder mysteries set in south Yorkshire. One million books read!
A detective who's no angel despite his name . . .
Meet Detective Inspector Michael Angel. An old-school policeman who sometimes rubs his colleagues up the wrong way. He's got his flaws, but he never gives up on a case.
A murdered priest. Five suspects - all nuns.
It's a cold foggy night, deep in the Yorkshire moors. In a small convent, a priest is discovered dead - blood staining his collar and covering his face.
Father Morgan was stabbed viciously to death by someone within these very walls. With just five nuns living in the convent and no sign of a break-in, Inspector Angel assumes this will be a straightforward case.
But Angel hasn't counted on the bloodlust of this ruthless murderer. Two of the nuns are killed just days later - stabbed in their beds as they sleep.
And then there are just three nuns - all seemingly innocent . . .
Angel must act fast to solve this baffling case. The clock is ticking. Can Angel catch the killer nun before any more innocent lives are lost? Or has he finally met his match?
A brilliantly absorbing and twisty mystery. Perfect for fans of J.M. Dalgliesh, Faith Martin, Peter Robinson, Reginald Hill, and Agatha Christie.
THE DETECTIVEMichael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don't have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary's sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn't want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money.THE SETTINGBromersley is a market town at the bottom of the Pennines surrounded by stone and hawthorn-edged fields grazed by cattle and sheep. It is cold as anywhere in the winter but its closeness to the mountains protects it from many gales and heavy falls of snow. The town's industry today includes the manufacture of ball bearings and whisky bottles, and a huge brewery produces Bromersley's best bitter, which is considered the finest beer for miles around. Wednesday is market day, and the town centre is host to the frequent cries of stall-holders hawking their wares while the enticing smells of cheeses, coffees, foreign spices and fish and chips tempt your taste buds as you wander through the stalls. The police always find it difficult to catch pilferers and pickpockets in such a crowd.PRAISE FOR ROGER SILVERWOOD: 'Solid plotting, unpretentious writing, thoroughly reliable entertainment.'
