Mark Billingham

Meet Detective Miller. He is eccentric, offbeat, a dancer, he has no respect whatever for authority and he is the best hope Blackpool has for keeping crime off the streets. A double murder in a seaside hotel sees Miller attempt to solve what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. The Last Dance is the first in a new series in twenty years from one of Britain’s greatest crime writers – and it is a superb debut for Detective Miller. Chaired by Chris Brookmyre.
