'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 Creme Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.

Reviews for The Wrong Hands: The new intriguing, unique and completely unpredictable Detective Miller mystery

Mark Billingham does edge-of-your-seat tension, wit and heart like no one else. The Wrong Hands has all that and more - it's simply fantastic * Lisa Jewell * I adored everything about The Wrong Hands! Darkly funny with colourful characters and a clever, twisty plot that had me laughing out loud one minute and emotional the next. I love Mark Billingham's writing and I'm excited to have found a new favourite detective in the ballroom dancing, rat-loving DS Miller * Claire Douglas * Electrifying . . . Throw in a delightfully madcap plot and breakneck pacing, and readers are left with a caper they won't soon forget * Publishers Weekly *
