A dance step taken in the shadow position is a perfect demonstration of style and synchronicity. It showcases a couple in near telepathic harmony with one another. It does not normally end with someone stone-dead in a lake.
DS Declan Miller is a magnet for strange cases, but how can he catch a killer when the man confessing is clearly innocent? Things start to 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…
Throw in a wobbly dog, a pair of ceramic leopards and the distracting smell from a 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.
