Synopsis
The latest news from Constable Nick of Aidensfield... Fierce weather and wild terrain must not interfere with police work, and the superintendent is not pleased when he catches Nick building a snowman in a blizzard. He is even less pleased when Nick considers evacuating a market town because an old farmer insists there'll be a devastating flood within hours. Add to this Claude Jeremiah Greengrass almost killing himself on a runaway double bass, a Spanish senorita visiting a confirmed bachelor farmer on the moors, and an elderly widower trying to arrange a beauty contest - all part of constabulary duties for Constable Nick.

Review
"'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; 'A fascinating insight into the life of a rural constable... the book makes splendid reading.' Police Journal; 'Rhea's real strengths are his sharp portraits of people. The best humour comes from the author's close understanding and affectionate portrayals of the character of Yorkshire country folk.' Northern Echo; 'An account of the hilarious happenings to the county's rural policemen over the years.' Yorkshire Post; 'Filled with Yorkshire characters to make you laugh and cry... shows life through the eyes of a village bobby.' Whitby Gazette; 'Nicholas Rhea is doing for the North Yorkshire Police what James Herriot did for the North Yorkshire vets... another delightful, simple tale of everyday life in Aidensfield from Constable Nick.' Driffield Post"
