‘I’m excited to have found a new favourite detective’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS’Neat plot twists and a likable cast of offbeat characters, all served up with plenty of black humour’ MAIL ON SUNDAY”Simply fantastic’ LISA JEWELLThis is one case Miller won’t want to open . . . Unconventional Detective Declan Miller has a problem. Still desperate to solve the murder of his wife, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands.

Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne’er do well Wayne Cutler – a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife’s death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of.

Chuck in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Crème Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.

What real readers say about The Wrong Hands’Brilliant . . .

An excellent, enjoyable read”A very good plot with plenty of humour”What a cracker’ ‘I love everything about Miller, and can’t recommend The Wrong Hands highly enough”I really enjoyed The Last Dance, but this one was even better. DS Miller is such a brilliant character”Hilarious . . . The Detective Miller books are a breath of fresh air”A joy to read’
