Constable by the Stream
By Nicholas Rhea
In the splendid countryside of North Yorkshire, there’s barely time to stop for Constable Nick Rhea…
Not when missing sheep need locating, stray dogs need homing and thieves need identifying!
As Britain’s most popular copper continues his work around the village, he has to cope with an array of eccentric characters: a postman who can’t read, a helpful lady who steals from the elderly people in her care, and a delightful small-time villain called Tin Lid Talbot.
Winning an aged tin of sardines in a local raffle and upsetting the villagers by getting first prize at the local whist drive, PC Nick Rhea must contend with the variety and humorous exploits of a Yorkshire village.
Constable By the Stream is the lively tale of a young PC and the small rural community he calls home.
Nicholas Rhea, now retired, spent 30 years in the force, having started as a Police Cadet for the North Riding Constabulary. His best-known work, the Constable Series, provided the inspiration for the hugely popular TV series, Heartbeat and he remained involved with the series as a consultant until filming ended in 2009.
