BIOGRAPHY
MIKE RIPLEY is the author of the award-winning ‘Angel’ series of comedy thrillers set mainly in Essex and London’s East End.
In Double Take he moves ‘up west’ big time, to London’s wild west frontier around Heathrow airport and with a new multi-cultural cast of characters all determined to make crime pay. It has been said that Mike Ripley ‘paints a picture of London Dickens would recognise’ and apart from being acknowledged as one of Britain’s funniest crime writers, he is also a respected critic of crime fiction, reviewing for the Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Good Book Guide and the Birmingham Post.
Mike Ripley has twice won the Crime Writers' Association Last Laugh Dagger for best humourous crime novel.
