Constable Over the Stile
By Nicholas Rhea
In the peaceful village of Aidensfield, deep in the North Yorkshire Moors, Constable Nick continues his daily patrol…
With mysterious cashing popping up from nowhere, a Girl Guide tumbling down a waterfall, and a group of men taking the law into their own hands, life in the village always promises to be eventful.
Constable Nick is faced with even more when a wronged lady wreaks vengeance upon her unfaithful husband, a distinguished conman brings art to the community and a convicted murderer returns home to their quiet village.
But it’s when Nick and Sergeant Blaketon hear an escaped Great Train Robber is hiding on Nick’s patch that they realise they have a major problem…
In this engaging tale of county life in a small village, Constable Over the Stileis as humorous and warm as it is dramatic; revealing the fascinating life of a young Yorkshire bobby.
For the last 30 years, Nicholas Rhea has been writing books, drawing on his experiences in the police force, his never-ending enthusiasm for Yorkshire and his continuing interest in crime fact and fiction. 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.
