Absolutely thrilled and delighted that The Quaker has been shortlisted for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award for 2019. It’s an honour and privilege to share the shortlist with writers of the calibre of Val McDermid, Mick Herron, Khurrum Rahman, Steve Cavanagh and Belinda Bauer. It also means that I’ll be heading back to the Harrogate Festival this July. Maybe see you there if you’re in town!
