Publisher's Synopsis
As he awaits his anticipated promotion, Police Constable Rhea continues his work on the Yorkshire moorland beat of Aidensfield, reminiscing about his childhood in a similar idyllic village. His rural upbringing certainly helps him deal with the variety of incidents and people he encounters, such as a press photographer who gets lost whilst trying to locate a centenarian, a party of day-trippers who get imprisoned in a field, and a farmer whose vehicles smother the lanes with mud. Meanwhile Claude Jeremiah Greengrass splashes out on a colourful new car, only to have a pop group make an offer he can't resist. Claude's new lorry is then stolen, the Beast of Aidensfield terrifies villagers by lurking in the darkness, and Constable Nick encounters psychic cows, ghostly racehorses and clever sheepdogs. It's all in the line of duty for Constable Nick of Aidensfield.
