Pauline Kirk
PJ Quinn

Pauline M Kirk

I also write as 'PJ Quinn', in collaboration with my daughter Jo Summers. Jo challenged me to write a crime novel and, somehow, I ended up writing it with her. The result is a series of detective novels featuring DI Ambrose and Chalk Heath, set in the 1950s, a period of great change that seems like an era ago.

Foul Play is the first novel which was published in June 2011; and Poison Pen in October 2012. Close Disharmony, the third book in the series, was published in 2014. Though planned as a trilogy, such was the demand by readers that a fourth book, Poetic Justice, was published in July 2018.

Many readers have asked about a fifth novel in this series and about developing a series based on the character of WPC Meadows. Jo and I, along with our publisher, have investigated the possibility of either or both of these options. Officially, Foul Play is out of print but a second edition folding in our experience writing the later novels and adding a scene or two has been accepted.

The good news is that Foul Flay and Poison Pen have been rereleased with new covers and the edits I discussed above. AND YES there is a fifth DI Ambrose under development which is expected to be published on October 2023.
