Fire on the Norfolk Broads (DCI Greg Geldard #3)

Originally published as Fires of Hate

Detective Greg Geldard is finally settling into life in the Norfolk Broads, a place he wants to call home. But the silent waterways are deceptive. And among the brooding marshes, a deadly plot is in motion.

Detective Geldard is wolfing down a quick sandwich lunch at his desk when he gets the call. There’s been a devastating explosion at the local Science Park. Multiple casualties.

Geldard races to the scene — it’s carnage. Body parts lie scattered on the ground.

Seven people dead. Sixteen unaccounted for.

Professor Lai, Head of Chemistry, is one of the missing. She’s thought to have been killed in the explosion. But then the Forensics come back. The body that’s been found isn’t hers.

Someone was deliberately left to die in the blaze.

Then Geldard’s estranged wife drops a bombshell of her own. She’s pregnant with another man’s child — and she wants a divorce.

As Geldard tries to cope with his wife’s betrayal, he must race against time to catch a cunning killer before they claim more innocent lives.
