Don't understand your Maidstone clue at all.
Can you give the actual wording of the clue plus no. of letters.

Maidstone is correct - I think it was your 'angels of wraith' comment that threw The Joker.

I didn't have any answer as I do not have this crossword.
Most of the people here do not have the relevant crossword,which is why it is important to give the correct clue wording and the no. of letters.
