- Police Constable Nicholas Rhea continues his enthralling account of rural bobbying on the North Yorkshire Moors and finds himself dealing with a host of intriguing characters who live and work on these spectacular heights. Among the hilarious anecdotes are the cases of witchcraft used by Katherine Hardwick to rid herself of a troublesome suitor and the insurance man who covers a dog against its persistent theft and unscrupulous love-making. Contrasting with the humour and joy of rustic life there is sadness and Nicholas Rhea tells the poignant tale of the man who came to bury his wife on her beloved moors. The book is packed with stories of a country flavour and it provides a colourful picture of police work in a large rural district. There is humour and pathos and above all a love of human beings and concern for their welfare.
- Nicholas Rhea is the pen-name for Peter N. Walker, formerly an inspector with the North Yorkshire Police and now the creator of the Constable series and the inspiration for the long-running and critically acclaimed ITV drama series Heartbeat and author of Portrait of the North York Moors. As Peter N. Walker, he is the author of many murders and mysteries. He lives in North Yorkshire.
