Kill Angel! (A Frank Angel Western #6) (19 page)

‘
Oh,
what a pity,’ the Attorney-General said. ‘She just went off on a
two week vacation. I thought she was looking a little peaked, so I
told her to get some sunshine. Sent her to stay with some friends
of mine.’

Angel
’s face brightened. ‘Where would that
be?’ he asked.

‘
Arizona,’ the older man replied imperturbably, and then
laughed out loud at the look on the face of his Special
Investigator. ‘Tucson, to be exact.’

‘
Well,
I’ll be a sad sonofabitch!’ Angel
said. ‘I just came from there!’

‘
Now,
Frank,’ said the Attorney-General. ‘Good secretaries are hard to
find in this town. Call it a safety precaution, if you like. I
watched her the last time you were here.’ He shook his head.
‘Sorry.’

‘
You
did it on purpose,’ Angel said. There was a slow smile coming into
his eyes, and it gladdened the man in the big chair behind the
desk. Angel was young, and very good. He did not want to lose him,
and he knew how hard the death of his friends had hit
Angel.

He nodded.
‘I’m afraid I did.’

Angel walked to the door.

‘
There’ll be other times,’ he said.

‘
Have a
good time in New York,’ the Attorney-General said.

‘
Go to
hell,’ Angel replied and slammed the door. The man behind the desk
smiled. He’d been told to go to hell before.

Frederick Nolan, a.k.a. 'Frederick H. Christian', was born in
Liverpool, England and was educated there and at Aberaeron in
Wales. He decided early in life to become a writer, but it was some
thirty years before he got around to achieving his ambition. His
first book was
The Life and Death of John
Henry Tunstall
, and it established him as
an authority on the history of the American frontier. Later he
founded The English Westerners' Society. In addition to the
much-loved Frank Angel westerns, Fred also wrote five entries in
the popular Sudden series started by Oliver Strange. Among his
numerous non-western novels is the best-selling
The Oshawa Project
(published
as
The Algonquin Project
in the US) which was later filmed by MGM as
Brass Target
. A leading
authority on the outlaws and gunfighters of the Old West, Fred has
scripted and appeared in many television programs both in England
and in the United States, and authored numerous articles in
historical and other academic publications.
