“Secrets of the Peacock will lead you to dark and terrifying places as McNamara skillfully blends action, terror, and suspense into a non-stop thrill ride.” —Gary Gerlacher, author of the AJ Docker and Banshee medical thriller series
One terrible night. Multiple vile predators. Endless family secrets.
When Ivy Miller and her husband Brandon travel to North Carolina for a family vacation, she’s looking forward to meeting their newest nephew and escaping the stress of her job as a veterinary technician. Greeted by a chaotic household, they decide to visit a local petting zoo.
What begins as a simple outing becomes a nightmare when Ivy discovers the charming Farmer Jane is hiding sinister secrets beneath her rural property. As the tour leads deeper into the isolated farm, Ivy realizes too late that she and her family have walked into a trap. When everything goes south, Ivy must fight to survive against a woman whose twisted operation has been hiding in plain sight for years and where problems run deeper than poor animal care. Even if she escapes, Ivy will discover the most dangerous secrets aren’t the ones kept by strangers—they’re the ones buried within her own family.
Secrets of the Peacock is a heart-pounding domestic thriller that explores fierce family bonds and how well we truly know the people we love most.
