THE BOOKS WHICH INSPIRED HEARTBEAT.

The brilliantly entertaining and heartwarming books behind the hit '90s TV series Heartbeat. One of the top ten most watched shows of the decade.

BRITAIN'S MOST POPULAR BOBBY TURNS DETECTIVE!

A delightful account of Constable Nick’s foray into the CID, or as he thinks of it, “Constable In Disguise.”

Nick joins the Criminal Investigation Department to learn about the work of the detectives in civilian clothes.

Asked to keep a watchful eye on a house thought to be used as a brothel, Nick quietly climbs the roof and sends a tile crashing through the window. When the woman inside and her five brothers attack the neighbours for causing the damage, the police turn out in force and arrest everybody. Meanwhile Nick lies low on the roof.

FULL OF CHARMING TALES OF DETECTIVE WORK WHICH REQUIRE A LIGHT TOUCH AND A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR

“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

In the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside of the 1960s, Constable Nick's roles are as varied as the eccentric villagers.

Perfect for fans of James Herriot, TE Kinsey, Gerald Durrell, J. R. Ellis or anyone who loves a great read.

MEET CONSTABLE NICK AND HIS COLLEAGUES
PC Nick Rhea has been posted to the country with his wife Mary and their three small children. They move into the police house, high on a ridge overlooking the moors. It sits on the edge of the village of Aidensfield — “probably the most beautiful site in the country”.

Sergeant Oscar Blaketon. A solid and dependable character who runs his tiny station with fierce efficiency but under a tough exterior, is full of warmth, generosity and kindness.

PC Alf Ventress. The old, easy-going constable whose local knowledge is vital to the running of the station. He does like Mrs Ventress's hard-boiled eggs!
