Meet Sunday Times Bestselling author Mark Billingham at Oasis’s fundraiser with BroadstairsLit on Sunday 11 June 2023 3pm at The Yarrow Hotel, Broadstairs.
We are very excited to welcome the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller with the launch of his latest book The Last Dance.
Oasis has once again joined forces with BroadstairsLit to host a special event with bestselling crime fiction novelist Mark Billingham.
The Last Dance is the first new Billingham series in 20 years.
Meet Detective Miller: unique, unconventional, and criminally underestimated…
He’s a detective, a dancer, he has no respect whatsoever for authority – and he’s the best hope Blackpool has for keeping criminals off the streets.
A double murder in a seaside hotel sees grieving Miller return to work to solve what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. Just why were two completely unconnected men taken out? With a distinctly loose relationship with reality and a new partner to deal with, can eccentric, offbeat Miller find answers where more traditional police have found only an impossible puzzle?
If you love crime fiction, this event is not to be missed.
