Constable in the Country

Constable Nick Mystery #31

by Nicholas Rhea

As he awaits his anticipated promotion, Constable Nick Rhea continues his work on the Yorkshire moorland beat of Aidensfield, reminiscing about his childhood in a similar idyllic village and making the inevitable comparisons. On his daily rounds he encounters an eccentric array of locals and visitors, none more so than Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, who splashes out on a colourful new car, only to have a pop group make him an offer he can't resist. The Beast of Aidensfield terrifies villagers by lurking in the darkness, and Constable Nick also has to deal with clever sheepdogs, psychic cows and ghostly racehorses...
