Liz Rachel Walker’s writing has appeared in print and online. With parents who grew up in England during the Second World War, she set out to write a wartime mystery inspired by the unanswered questions around whether the Germans received advance warning of the Dieppe raid. The Dieppe Secret is her first novel and was highly commended for the CWA Debut Dagger, a finalist in the Best Investigator Category for the Claymore Award at the US Killer Nashville Conference and won Crime Writers of Canada’s Unhanged Arthur Award. She lives in Victoria on the West coast of Canada.
