About this audiobook
'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
_______________
This 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.
