The Wrong Hands by Mark Billingham

The Wrong Hands by Mark Billingham

'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. _______________ What real readers say about 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' 'A joy to read'

Mark Billingham does edge-of-your-seat tension, wit and heart like no one elseThe 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 *
There is a laugh on every page yet it is the depiction of Miller's furious grief that is most impressive and provides a heartbreaking finale * The Times *
Electrifying . . . Throw in a delightfully madcap plot and breakneck pacing, and readers are left with a caper they won't soon forget * Publishers Weekly *
Smart, decisive and funny as heck . . . Fabulously original, The Wrong Hands now joins its older sister as a star book . . . Humour spears murder and mayhem and the storytelling is such that it captures imaginations as the plot smirks and swaggers its way from beginning to end. Yet as always, darkness is acknowledged with compassion and thoughtfulness . . . Gift-wrapped in Mark Billingham's fabulous style, The Wrong Hands plays a blinder * LoveReading *
The second instalment of a fine, funny new series -- John Connolly
