# Danny Miller — The Man in the Queue character guide

> Danny Miller in The Man in the Queue by Josephine Tey.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Miller, Danny

**First appearance:** 0000-i-murder

## Snapshot

A name that surfaces in Grant's widening net of witnesses and suspects, one thread in the tangle of London lives the queue murder pulls loose.

## Who they are

Miller belongs to the cast of small figures Grant's men turn up as they work south London like hounds in cover, each one remembering what interests them most and connecting it, humanly, to everything else. His testimony sits among the bicycle thefts and bookmaking offices that seem irrelevant until they aren't. In a case built on scraps, even a minor witness can tilt the scale.

Suddenly panics while watching his girlfriend try on dresses, grabs his hat, and rushes out of the Pimlico flat, later returning only to demand tuppence before leaving again.
