MEET BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED VILLAGE POLICEMAN.

"It's original, it's funny . . . one of life's little pleasures." Yorkshire Post

There's never a dull moment for Constable Nick. And it's all thanks to the good folk of Aidensfield. They're the salt of the earth and would never miss church on a Sunday. But the rest of the week, they're Constable Nick's problem. And there's no end to their antics. A foul-mouthed groundskeeper with a voice like a foghorn. A helpless baby left on the church's doorstep. A camp full of rowdy Borstal boys brought to the village for 'rehabilitation'. Constable Nick must contend with all these characters and more besides. Can he keep the peace before the entire village goes to hell? 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.

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!

READERS CAN'T RESIST THE CONSTABLE NICK MYSTERIES

"Just love Nicholas Rhea's Constable books . . . easy reading delivers a heartwarming, amusing trip back to a very different kind of policing in the 60s." Joy Ellis

"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

"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."
