Secret Places
Heather Peck
We all have secret places – some in the world, some in our heads. Places where we can go when it all gets too much. Or a place where we hide the unthinkable.

Goat farmer, cheese maker and weaver Tristan Smith is working on her North Yorkshire smallholding when a chance visit by archaeologists exposes a skeleton in an abandoned WW2 bunker. But it’s not a wartime casualty.
Tristan becomes involved in the search for the truth about her predecessors, as DI Greg Geldard follows a trail from North Yorkshire to the Norfolk Broads. He is seeking justice for a long-dead victim; but another casualty is hunting for a new life and a safe place to start again.

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.
