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 Market day in Ashfordly comes but once a week - and that's more than enough for Constable Nick. Every Friday, traders and punters flock to the cobbled marketplace. All are eager to snag a bargain - a gourmet cheese or a pet snake from Greengrass's exotic emporium. Too bad the place is a magnet for pickpockets, carousers and troublemakers of every description. This week, Constable Nick is faced with: A hand grenade among the potatoes. An unstoppable drunkard named Twelve-pint Pete. A UFO floating in Aidensfield airspace. Can he find a way to keep the peace - and save the proud tradition that is market day in Yorkshire? 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
Autorenporträt
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.
