MEET BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED VILLAGE POLICEMAN.
It's original, it's funny . . . one of life's little pleasures. Yorkshire Post
MURDER WAKES UP THE SLEEPY VILLAGE WITH A BANG
Local aristocrat, Lord Thackerton is holding a party at Elsinby Hall to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Constable Nick must make sure that everything is in order as there will be some VIP guests. Nick notices Phyllis Catchpole, a well-known pickpocket, in attendance and although she assures him that she's here for legitimate work, Nick would be wise to keep an eye on her. He also bumps into Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, a strange figure in the community who has an old friendship with the ageing lord and who also has a taste for spying on people. Considering he's not cordially invited to the event, what's he doing there? Constable Nick's shift finishes without incident and he heads home. Just as he is about to tuck into bed, there's a phone call. His sleepy village isn't quite as sleepy as he thought. Edwin Drood, a wealthy and very aloof man, has been found shot dead. Although this man had his fair share of enemies, surely no one hated him enough to kill him? With so many dodgy types at the party, Constable Nick must work fast before the situation escalates any further.
The brilliantly entertaining and heartwarming books behind the hit 90s TV series Heartbeat. One of the top ten most watched shows of the decade.
Stories of a constable on his village beat in North Yorkshire. All very gentle and far, far removed from the hurly burly of modern-day city policing. Daily Telegraph
In the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside of the 1960s, Constable Nick's roles are as varied as the eccentric villagers. Perfect for fans of James Herriot, T.E. Kinsey, Gerald Durrell, J.R. Ellis or anyone who loves a great read. DISCOVER ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED AUTHORS
MEET CONSTABLE NICK AND HIS COLLEAGUES
Police Constable Nick Rhea has been posted to the country with his wife Mary and their three small children. They move into the police house, high on a ridge overlooking the moors. It sits on the edge of the village of Aidensfield - probably the most beautiful site in the country.
Sergeant Oscar Blaketon. A solid and dependable character who runs his tiny station with fierce efficiency. Under his tough exterior, he is full of warmth, generosity and kindness.
