Kevin Heath has spent a lifetime chasing stories most people never even realise exist—the kind that unfold in shadowy forests, remote wetlands, and behind the polished doors of powerful institutions. In 2000, he founded Wildlife News, driven by a determination to expose environmental and wildlife crime wherever it lurked. What began as a focused mission quickly grew into a globally recognised platform, with Kevin’s investigations and reporting reaching audiences around the world.
A seasoned radio broadcast journalist, Kevin has spent over 25 years uncovering the hidden world of conservation crime. His work has helped bring major stories to light—stories that have toppled reputations, dismantled criminal networks, and revealed the staggering scale of harm inflicted on the natural world. From exposing scandals that shook the leadership of international conservation charities, to tracking the collapse of multi-million-dollar rhino smuggling rings, his career has been anything but quiet.
And then, of course, there are the stranger cases—the ones that almost sound too peculiar to be true. Few could forget the “Great British Bumblebee Kidnapping,” when thousands of Swedish bees were quietly collected for reintroduction into Britain… without anyone thinking to mention it to the Swedish locals. The result? Outrage, protests, and a story that buzzed far beyond the countryside.
Now, Kevin is turning his attention to fiction—but not leaving reality behind. Through his cosy mystery novels, he brings readers into a world where charming settings meet serious stakes, and where crimes against nature are woven into gripping, entertaining tales. His goal is simple: to captivate readers while quietly opening their eyes to the very real—and often surprising—crimes being committed against the environment.
With a storyteller’s instinct and an investigator’s eye, Kevin Heath invites you to step into mysteries rooted in truth, where every clue carries the echo of something that has, somewhere, really happened.
