Publisher's Synopsis
For Constable Nick of Aidensfield, the fierce weather and wild terrain of the rugged North York Moors must not interfere with his police work. But the Superintendent is not pleased when he catches Nick building a snowman in the midst of a blizzard and Nick faces more resistance when he considers evacuating a market town because a farmer on the moors reckons there'll be a devastating flood within hours. Nick copes with Claude Jeremiah Greengrass almost killing himself on a runaway double bass and ponders why an ageing widower would want a beauty contest in Aidensfield. It's all just part of his constabulary duties!
