<\/p>\nThe new Detective Miller thriller from bestselling author Mark Billingham, full of tension, wit and incredible twists.<\/h2>\n
<\/b>
'I'm excited to have found a new favourite detective'<\/b> CLAIRE DOUGLAS<\/p>\n
'Edge-of-your-seat tension, wit and heart – fantastic!'<\/b> LISA JEWELL<\/p>\n
'Funny, moving, and full of surprises. An absolute treat' <\/b>MICK HERRON<\/p>\n
★<\/b> 'Combining humor, pathos, and genuine surprise, it's another home run from Billingham<\/b>.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY<\/i>, STARRED REVIEW<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nIt's Detective Miller's deadliest dance…<\/h2>\n
<\/b><\/p>\n
The Shadow Step: One taken simultaneously by a pair of dancers facing the same direction, one of them behind and slightly shifted leftwards ('in the shadow')<\/i><\/p>\n
Typically, such a step perfectly demonstrates synchronized elegance. It showcases a couple in near telepathic harmony with one another. It does not normally end with someone stone-dead in a lake.<\/b><\/p>\n
DS Declan Miller is a magnet for strange cases, but how can he catch a killer when the man confessing to the crime is clearly innocent? Things rapidly escalate when the murder that isn't really a murder at all attracts the unwanted attention of a drugs Queenpin, a deranged ex-squaddie and a lovesick gangland enforcer. Then a student is kidnapped…<\/p>\n
Throw in a wobbly dog, a pair of ceramic leopards and the distracting smell from a local biscuit factory, and – if he wants to save a young man's life – Miller has little choice but to waltz all the way into the shadows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
