'Simply fantastic' LISA JEWELLUnconventional 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 Cr�me 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'
