Conspiracy at Angel

"A dead man in my car? But how can that be? Do you mean somebody-er-that was taken ill or something?""No, sir. The dead man in your car was murdered."When Richard Langley entered the town of Angel, he encountered the unexpected. He never expected to meet Priscilla Schofield. He never expected to be asked to deliver her kitten Ahaseurus to Priscilla's father. And he never expected to stumble into the wrong house and come face to face with a gang of criminals.Soon, Langley finds himself looking over his shoulder for enemies in the shadows and then a body turns up in his car . . . But it is only when Langley himself disappears that Priscilla decides she needs to summon some help-help in the form of Anthony Lotherington Bathurst.Conspiracy at Angel was first published in 1947. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Steve Barge.
