Peter Good
I was born in Kenya. My childhood years were spent with my parents, brothers and sister in the isolated mining and farming areas of Kenya, and it was here that my fondness for the ' bush life' and wild animals grew.
In 1959, I moved to Southern Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe) where I joined the British South Africa Police Force, spending my entire service in the Matabeleland Province, at various District Stations. I also served as Public Prosecutor in the Local Magistrate Courts for 5 years.
It was whilst at these District Stations that I learnt the customs and language of the local populace, even joining them in their 'beer drinks', and in doing so I won their respect, which paid off during the troubled times of ' terrorist' activity.
My Writing
I relocated to England in 1977, where I have remained since, but still regard Africa as my 'home' and miss the African 'night noises'.
I have been writing for many years and I do hope you enjoy my books and experience the flavour of Africa. There is far more information on my website, please see the links below.
My books are £7.99 each, but IPA Members can buy them directly from me at £5.00 each.
Ndlovu - The White Elephant
A pacy story set in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) during the turbulent years that followed Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence. The story highlights the dangers of police work in the explosive climate of a troubled country in the years of the terror war. It is woven around human suffering, painful endurance, and horrors that confronted the peoples both black and white. The narrative is loosely based upon the author's experiences in the police force of what was then Rhodesia.Thus the action of this story is set against an authentic background which the author experienced and the impeccable writing style gives a palpable vividness to the events.......
A retired ex-Police Constable, commits murder, he flees the country but has now returned as a leader of a 'terrorist gang', he is on a diabolical mission, he is wily and ruthless, but he has one fear.... a reoccurring dream in which he is crushed and gored by an elephant, that appears white in colour.....
Tony is a police officer determined to track down this cunning and callous murderer....... Will he succeed and live up to his given name-NDLOVU-The White Elephant?
The author has succeeded in producing a narrative with great feeling, what sets this work apart from other similar books is the remarkable attention to detail.
Be TREY al
Set around the Maasai Mara Area of Kenya, the story portrays the ongoing struggle to combat poaching. The senseless killing of Rhino and Elephant, just for their Horns and Tusks.
So let yourself be transported to the wonderful world of the ' wild life of Kenya ' as this story takes you on a roller coaster journey of Friendship, Betrayal, Love and Murder!
