The Wrong Hands

by Mark Billingham

'This is one case Miller won't want to open . . .

____________



'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 JEWELL



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.

READER REVIEWS FOR THE WRONG HANDS



'Brilliant . . . Highly entertaining and a complete change from Tom Thorne, who I have enjoyed for years'



'The characters, structure and storytelling remain as strong as ever. 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'
