About the Book

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 THE BOOKS WHICH INSPIRED HEARTBEAT The brilliantly entertaining and heartwarming books behind the hit 90s TV series "Heartbeat". One of the top ten most watched shows of the decade. DIRTY TRICKS AT THE BEST-KEPT VILLAGE COMPETITION Constable Nick patrols his rural Yorkshire beat on foot or on his trusty Francis Barnett motorcycle. But as beautiful as the villages are, they conceal real human drama. Nick is on hand to help out when Aidensfield decides to enter the Best Kept Village competition and finds itself the victim of a dirty tricks campaign by its rivals. Then there is the mystery of the spontaneously combusting henhouse, and Nick has to cope with the consequences when the vicar tries a novel way of keeping the churchyard tidy. CHARMING, FUNNY TALES WITH A COUNTRY FLAVOUR "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. IT'S NOT THE BIG CITY BUT THE YORKSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE IS STILL FULL OF INCIDENT Perfect for fans of James Herriot, TE 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 good, solid and dependable character who runs his little police station with fierce efficiency but under a tough exterior, 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 "Just love Nicholas Rhea's Constable books... easy reading delivers a heart-warming, amusing trip back to a very different kind of policing in the '60s." Joy Ellis "Recommended if it's laughter you're after." Bolton Evening News "Richly entertaining." Yorkshire Evening Post "Splendid reading." Police Journal "To be really blunt, this is not my normal reading fare, but I loved it." Nancy "I enjoyed this tremendously." Melissa "A wonderful and relaxing dip into the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors." David "A highly entertaining book which anyone who is looking for easy and humorous reading will enjoy." Granny IN THE AUTHOR'S OWN WORDS "As I had served as a village constable in a delightful part of the North York Moors, it seemed logical to use that experience as a background to the stories, and to add a touch of humour which is always present in police work."

About the Author :
Author Nicholas Rhea (the pseudonym of Peter Walker) drew on his own experiences as a local bobby for a small Yorkshire village in the 1960s to chronicle the career of Constable Nick, from his first arrival in Aidensfield in Constable on the Hill through his years on his rural beat, to his retirement in Constable over the Hill. In 2007, he was given the Crime Writers' Association's John Creasey Award (named after the CWA founder) for services to the association. By his death in 2017, he had written over 110 books, using as many as five pseudonyms, and had become one of the north's most prolific writers.
