Secret Places by Heather Peck
Domestic abuse and coercive control in a rural crime thriller with a trail from North Yorkshire to the Norfolk Broads. Bored with stolen quad bikes and sheep rustling in the Yorkshire Dales, DI Greg Geldard is hoping for a more interesting day but gets more than he bargained for. Tristan Smith is minding her own business and her goats, when a chance visit by archaeologists exposes a skeleton in a secret World War 2 bunker. Greg and his team try to work out what went wrong at the farmhouse and whose is the skeleton in the bunker. As events unfold in North Yorkshire, we follow Rachel Wade and her rescue dog, Brizo, to Norfolk and a new life on the Broads. But what is she hiding? And is history about to repeat itself? First in the DI Greg Geldard series.
Heather Peck has written for as long as she can remember. Her first play, written when she was seven, was performed at her school. In 2019, inspired by a positive experience and encouraging feedback from the Introduction to Writing Crime Fiction course run by UEA, she carved out space in her diary and wrote a story she had always wanted to. 'Secret Places' is the first in her series featuring DI Greg Geldard. The space between the play and the book has been filled by a busy career mainly in agriculture. She has been a senior civil servant in the Ministry of Agriculture/Defra (her farmer husband was described as 'sleeping with the enemy') and has bred both sheep and alpacas commercially. Since then Heather has pursued her passion for animal welfare and served on a number of Boards as Chairman or Director. She is currently Chair of Lantra UK, a Trustee of Norfolk Citizens Advice and a volunteer in the Witness Service. She lives in Norfolk with her husband, two springer spaniels and four hens. www.heatherpeckauthor.com
