DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE SERIES. MEET BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED VILLAGE POLICEMAN. Perfect for fans of James Herriot, T.E. Kinsey, Gerald Durrell, J.R. Ellis or anyone who loves a great read. "It's original, it's funny . . . one of life's little pleasures." Yorkshire Post The Yorkshire Moors are full of secrets. Constable Nick thinks he knows his patch like the back of his hand. But events are about to prove him wrong. As always, the trouble starts with Claude Jeremiah Greengrass and his flea-bitten dog. Trust them to trip over a stile and stumble on a small fortune. A trove of silver coins, to be precise. Who is the rightful owner? In Greengrass's eyes, finders are always keepers. But Nick has other matters on his mind. Including: The Girl Guide who's tumbled down a waterfall. The convicted murderer who's just moved to the village. The nervous agoraphobic who refuses to leave her own shed. Not to mention those whisperings of the escaped Great Train Robber. Could this notorious criminal be hiding under Nick's very nose? 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 DISCOVER ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED AUTHORS

Autor

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.
