About the book: 2004 / Angel is a London taxi driver. He travels around London in a rare cab, and for him there are no secrets - neither in the aristocratic quarters, nor in the slums. Angel is a cynical observer and philosopher, a pub romantic and a singer of life on wheels. Angel is part of London, and London is part of Angel. One day, Angel gets a job of money - not dusty, but dubious, and he plunges into twilight London, a city of dark streets and fast shadows. A strange young man named Tigger, a clown of the criminal world, a joker of underground life, becomes a partner in dubious transportation. But as soon as the Angel got used to his unusual partner and even warmed to him, he disappeared without a trace. From that moment on, Angel is obsessed with the desire to find the missing boy and find out the mystery surrounding him. His path passes through countless bars and pubs, through London's back streets and ends in a place that is strange even for London... Mike Ripley's book combines farce, detective noir and almost documentary notes about the peculiarities of London life.
