Sinossi
In his latest hair-raising adventure, streetwise chancer Fitzroy Maclean Angel has to cope with an even more daunting problem than usual: his own family. His exploits this time involve the mystery of a missing brother, a family of East End gangsters, hijacked tankers of diesel fuel, stolen beer kegs, sex on the Eurostar and an outrageous Common Market drugs deal.
At the end of it all, Angel might just have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
