Nowhere Man picks up where Thorn in My Side ended. Aunt May is still in a coma. And although DI
Mike York has managed to break up the drugs factory on Holy
Island and the monastery returned to the monks, the perpetrators
have to a large extent gone underground.
The threat to humanity from the families who have been in control for
centuries is still very real.
Smiler, the
young boy befriended by Mike York continues to experience premonitions of
danger to Mike, but where is Mike? And where is Shelley Monroe? The girl who had uncovered the horror that
has been hidden for centuries, had managed to escape when the monastery was
stormed, but in the resultant melee has still not conveyed her knowledge to
Mike Yoke, and so is still being hunted.
How can
Mike York a single policeman pit himself against the might, power and money of
this worldwide organisation. His only
way of dealing with it, and to distance himself from those he loves in a hope
of protecting them, is to go solo. Mike’s childhood friend Brother David and
Smiler continue to keep a vigil at Aunt May’s bedside, as Mike ploughs his own
furrow, which puts him in considerable danger.
This is the
second in the series, set on Holy Island, and
the story continues to twist and turn as Mike uncovers yet more secrets, and
more horror. This is a gripping entry in
this enthralling series. I cannot even
envisage where this story will take us next, but I eagerly await the next book.
Highly recommended.
