About this title

Synopsis

DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE SERIES. MEET BRITAIN’S BEST-LOVED VILLAGE POLICEMAN.

“It’s original, it’s funny . . . one of life’s little pleasures.” Yorkshire Post

IT’S CONSTABLE NICK UP AGAINST THE NUMBER ONE LOCAL TROUBLEMAKER

Although local crime is low, the first suspect for any wrongdoing is Claude Jeremiah Greengrass. Always coasting on the edge of the law, Greengrass has an answer for everything.

Whether trying to earn a quick penny from selling ‘holy water’ he collected from a well, which poisons his neighbours. Or conning the patrons of the local village fair by switching out his coconuts for a cheaper alternative. Nothing is what it seems when Greengrass is involved.

When reports are received that his trusty dog, Alfred, is stealing food and being a general nuisance, Constable Nick investigates. Is the dog beginning to pick up his owner's traits? Or is there another explanation for Alfred's sudden personality change?

Can Constable Nick and Sergeant Blaketon finally succeed in charging this rogue for one of his many misdemeanours?

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.

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.

PC Alf Ventress. The old, easy-going constable whose local knowledge is vital to the running of Ashfordly Police Station. He does like Mrs Ventress’s hard-boiled eggs!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT NICHOLAS RHEA

“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 and absorbing detail of a country copper practising his craft.” Northern Echo

“To be blunt, this is not my normal reading fare, but I loved it.” Nancy

“A wonderful and relaxing dip into the beautiful North Yorkshire moors.” David
