CONSTABLE BEATS THE BOUNDS a perfect feel-good read from one of Britain's best-loved authors

Nicholas Rhea

Summer is coming to the North Yorkshire moors. And it's time for the folk of Aidensfield to partake in an ancient tradition known as "beating the bounds". On this day, Constable Nick leads a motley procession of villagers round the parish boundaries, beating the ground with sticks as they go. But some boundaries are made to be broken. Especially in the line of duty. Constable Nick may be happy to bend the rules on occasion, when faced with a tardy bride, a missing cat or a pair of warring neighbours. But a human skull - found on the lonely moors above the village - is another matter, and in this case, Nick must play exactly by the book. Can Constable Nick piece together the mystery of the stranger's death? The brilliantly entertaining and heartwarming books behind the hit 90s TV series Heartbeat. One of the top ten most watched shows of the decade.

About the Author

Rhea, Nicholas: - Author Nicholas Rhea (the pseudonym of Peter Walker) drew on his own experiences as a local bobby for a small Yorkshire village in the 1960s to chronicle the career of Constable Nick, from his first arrival in Aidensfield in Constable on the Hill through his years on his rural beat, to his retirement in Constable over the Hill. In 2007, he was given the Crime Writers' Association's John Creasey Award (named after the CWA founder) for services to the association. By his death in 2017, he had written over 110 books, using as many as five pseudonyms, and had become one of the north's most prolific writers.
