{"product_id":"the-shadow-step","title":"The Shadow Step","description":"The new Detective Miller thriller from bestselling author Mark Billingham, full of tension, wit and incredible twists.   'I'm excited to have found a new favourite detective' CLAIRE DOUGLAS'Edge-of-your-seat tension, wit and heart - fantastic!' LISA JEWELL'Funny, moving, and full of surprises. An absolute treat' MICK HERRONIt's Detective Miller's deadliest dance...   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')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.   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...   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.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503800951157,"sku":"9781408722053","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408722053.jpg?v=1786867512","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-shadow-step","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
