ⓘ About Nicholas Rhea
Under this name, he famously wrote the “Constable” series of novels, which inspired the television series “Heartbeat”. Peter served as a police consultant for the series. He drew on his experiences as a local bobby for a tiny Yorkshire village during the 1960s to chronicle Constable Nick’s career, from his first appearance in Aidensfield in “Constable on the Hill” (first published in the year 1979). The series ended with his retirement in the year 2011, when “Constable Over the Hill” was released. The idea for the “Constable” stories came up because Peter wanted to write a book that showed the police undertook a lot of work that wasn’t associated with detective investigations or crime. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Constable Nick Mystery Books series, Nicholas Rhea has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
