Thorn In My Side was a new departure for Sheila Quigley: the start of a new series, with new characters and a new setting (not to mention a new publisher!) Meet DI Mike Yorke, and learn how he met Smiler, and what brings the two of them to Holy Island, on the northeast coast of England - and mysteries and terror they find there.
Now she has followed up their stunning debut with another case for DI Yorke. The Drugs factory has been broken up, the enslaved children rescued and the monastery restored to the monks. Mike should be moving on to the next case, but the horror of that night won't leave him alone.
And there's a special little extra for Seahills addicts, too... Read more about Nowhere Man
HOW CLOSE TO THE SECRET IS DI YORKE?
"Sometimes brutal, sometimes scary, sometimes funny. Always entertaining! Quigley delivers a storming debut to her brand new series with Thorn In My Side."
Matt Hilton, author of the Joe Hunter thrillers.
Here's what Sheila had to say about this new departure::
Thorn In My Side is also the start of a new adventure for me: that of co-publisher, with my son Michael. I am really excited about this, and hope it will make it easier to bring you the books you love!
Don't worry about the Seahills, Lorraine and Co. aren't going away. I'm working on a new one Stand By Me, which will be out early next year, and already thinking about the next Mike Yorke book, Nowhere Man, also out next year.
Thank you to all my fans for their support, and I hope it continues! I hope you like the new set of characters: from what I've been told about them, I have a sneaky feeling that you will.
Best wishes to all

Watch this space for information about events at which you can come along and say 'hello' to Sheila - sometimes solo, and sometimes teamed up with crime-writing friends Matt Hilton and Ken McCoy, otherwise known as Murder INK.
At a lot of library events one of the most asked questions is: what do you read? Mostly I read horror or fantasy, with the odd crime novel that takes my fancy - these must be fast paced with not a lot of procedural work thrown in.
The other day I called to pick my twelve year old granddaughter Shanine up, to take her and her six year old cousin Leah up to Holy Island where the new book, Thorn In My Side, is set. While waiting for her, I picked up her latest book, Wizards' Kingdom, by Colin R Parsons and could not put it down. She also raved about it, and was eager to get her hands on the next one. I was so pleased that she had finished it so I could take it home. A great read.
