DCI Yorke is Wes Markin’s first detective series, launching with One Last Prayer in 2019 and running nine books through The Secret Diary of Lacey Ray in 2024. The series established the template for Markin’s later work — atmospheric British settings, layered investigations, and a lead detective who carries personal baggage into every case.
The nine books include both standard procedurals and entries that expand the series in different directions, like Christmas with the Conduit and The Secret Diary of Lacey Ray. Markin published four books in the series’ first year alone, setting the pace that has defined his career across all four of his detective series.
