Dead Mile

‘A brilliant cop, a highly entertaining story and a smart new take on the ‘locked room’ mystery make for a winning combination. I loved it!’ - T.M. Logan, author of The Mother and The Holiday‘An inventive, gripping take on a locked room mystery’ - Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange‘Spellbindingly original and utterly compelling - Jo Furniss takes the locked room mystery to entirely new heights. Strap yourselves in… Dead Mile is one hell of a ride!’ - Jack Jordan, author of Do No Harm‘Such an original concept with brilliantly drawn characters, I honestly felt I was stuck out in the blistering heat on the tarmac of the motorway with them. DEAD MILE is a fantastic read - a pacy page turner with a twisty plot and a sense of tension that doesn’t let up until the final page. Loved it.’ - Nikki Smith, author of Look What You Made Me Do‘I absolutely loved it. The traffic might be at a standstill but this is a pedal-to-the-metal thriller from page one. The riotously grumpy Sergeant Kidd is my new best mate, and the rest of the complex, expertly-drawn cast make for an ingenious, high-octane page-turner with twists and turns worthy of a Formula 1 course. Utterly brilliant.’ - Kate Simants, author of Freeze
