What to expect

The thrilling, final instalment in The Nick Miller Trilogy, a series of gritty police procedurals set on the streets of London.

Detective Sergeant Nick Miller is tasked with hunting down a deranged killer stalking the streets of London.

The Rainlover. Whose victims are always women. Always at night when the streets are wet. He could be any one of a thousand men. Hounded by the public and the press, Miller needs to find him before he strikes again. It’s time to throw out the rule book in the line of duty.

The legend of the thriller genre strikes a final punch as he brings this one-off trilogy to a close. Previously unpublished, the third and final book is presented to readers here for the first time.
