Can Constable Nick keep the peace while maintaining his own sanity?

Find out in CONSTABLE IN THE FARMYARD by one of Britain’s most-loved authors, Nicholas Rhea. Out now and only half price – £1.99 / $2.99 for a limited time.

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

“It’s original, it’s funny . . . one of life’s little pleasures.” Yorkshire Post

OUT ON THE NORTH YORKSHIRE MOORS, CHAOS REIGNS.

And it’s all thanks to the wayward yeomen of Aidensfield. Namely:

Farmer Reuben, a capering lush.
Farmer Tim, who dreams of opening his own nudist colony.
Farmer Seamus, whose cows run amok through the village.

This motley gang of eccentrics ought to have their minds on the business of running a farm, working the land. Instead their heads are stuck in the clouds.

Together, their outrageous antics are more than enough to keep hardworking Constable Nick on his toes. Even when there are genuine criminals to be tracked, including the current bane of his existence: the phantom milk bottle thief.

Can he somehow keep the peace — along with his sanity?

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

“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

Seven-year-old Troy McEwan was only wearing leggings and a thin fleece. It’s down to minus three at night and the snow is falling. His mum doesn’t know where he is.

Then little Luca Scott goes missing as well.

Someone is snatching boys from the streets of Glasgow. And the boys look just like one of the detective's own sons.

Now with time running out to find them alive, the squad has been decimated by flu. Not to mention they have a nit-picking new boss and the media more is interested in the return of a local pop star.

It’s going to take everything Detectives Anderson and Costello have to find these missing kids.

A Scottish police procedural that will keep your pulse racing from electrifying opening to heart-stopping finish.
____________________

THE DETECTIVES
DI Colin Anderson: A well-qualified graduate with true Scottish grit. He’s calm, efficient and focused — despite his marriage falling apart, and the fact that he’s just a tiny bit in love with the boss’s wife.

DS Winifred “Freddie” Costello: Pithy, sometimes crabbit (as they say in Glasgow), Costello is incredibly capable, but not above pushing boundaries when needed. She’s a well-respected officer who always puts police work first. She’s had a crush on DCI McAlpine for many years now, but that doesn’t stop her getting the job done.

THE SETTING
Drizzly, grey Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. The realities of poverty and crime are laid bare — with the underfunded police department trying to keep the damn from breaking.

Are you seeking an enticing new mystery series, filled with first-rate characters, and breathtaking twists and turns?

Then meet Arnold Landon, mild-mannered history buff turned amateur sleuth.

Read the first book in Roy Lewis’s bestselling Arnold Landon series.

“The skilful Mr Lewis has made Arnold Landon an unforgettable character.” New York Times

“A most appealing English mystery with intimations of the mediaeval past. Mr Lewis ties all of this convincingly, making us care about the likeable rural types who are parties to the proceedings.” Publishers Weekly

“Tough local politics and a surprise solution.” The Times

Originally published as A Gathering of Ghosts.

IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PLANNING REQUEST . . .

Rampton Farm, Northumberland, has always been a gloomy, godforsaken place. Now it’s earmarked for demolition — to make way for just another tawdry amusement park.

It will be progress. And nothing can stand in the way.

Except perhaps Arnold Landon, the Planning Officer who must glean the lie of the land.

Medieval architecture is Arnold’s passion. And scouting the grounds, he makes a thrilling discovery. The Old Wheat Barn.

He is captivated the moment he crosses the threshold. Its walls echo with whispers of the past.

Then and there, he realises he must save it from the developers. But his efforts meet with hostile resistance. And then the barn offers up its most shocking secret yet.

A dead body, sprawled in the straw.

What other crimes lay hidden in the dark history of the barn? Arnold won’t rest until he uncovers the truth.

Murder in the Barn marks the beginning of an addictive new series, featuring an unlikely hero whose passions run deep.

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, JD Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing new mystery.

What everyone is saying about Murder in the Barn

“An unusual book, with a pronounced streak of poetry that poses some problems very much in today’s public consciousness.” Newgate Callendar

“Lovely feel for the past and parts rural in this calmly flowing story.” Scotsman

“Enthusiastic battle against academic opposition.” Oxford Times

THE DETECTIVE
Planning Officer Arnold Landon is somewhat inhibited and painfully aware of his lack of academic background. He lives in the North East of England and as self-taught archaeologist he confounds academic experts with his detailed knowledge, which involves him in a local murder. His expertise brings him promotion in due course to the Archaeology Department where he meets frustration, which he nevertheless overcomes by making important discoveries of ancient artefacts while playing a leading role in solving local crimes. As succession of opportunities for further promotion pass him by because of his desire to remain in touch with the detailed history of sites in Northumberland and this leads to further conflict, first with his inadequate superior and then with the stunningly beautiful Karen Stannard and, later in his career, the Italian archaeologist Carmela Cacciatore.

______________________________________________

THREE VICTIMS. TWO MILLENNIA. ONE TIMELESS WEAPON.

Theadingford dig site, present-day.

Detective Rozlyn Priest never expected to find herself here. Teetering on the brink of an ancient grave. She takes a breath, willing herself to look down.

Old bones, broken relics. That’s what should be buried here. Not the dead man staring back at her now.

He is Charlie Higgins, a petty criminal Roz once called on for help.

Is she the reason he’s dead? Slashed with a spear that belongs in the Dark Ages?

Roz won’t rest until she finds the truth. But her investigation is leading nowhere. And now she’s seeing things — visions of a flame-haired Saxon warrior who shares her thirst for justice.

But just how much deeper is Roz prepared to dig?

Slipping effortlessly between two intertwining mysteries, Jane Adams has crafted a police procedural like no other. Her unique blend of intrigue, mystery and history will captivate fans of Kate Mosse, Barbara Erskine, Alex North and Stephen King.

Meet your next favourite Scottish detectives: DI Colin Anderson and DS Winifred ‘Freddie’ Costello

A serial killer is stalking Glasgow.

A woman is found dead in her own home. No sign of forced entry. But she is posed as though on the cross. Ripped open and bled to death. With a blistering of chloroform round her mouth and nose.

She’s not the first victim found like this.

Detectives Anderson and Costello are on the case. But their boss, DCI Alan McAlpine, is unravelling before their eyes.

The past holds horrific memories for McAlpine. He last worked this beat some twenty years earlier, when he was assigned to guard a woman, faceless after a sadistic acid attack. He couldn’t protect her.

The past is resurfacing.
Three women are dead.

Can they stop a serial killer who’s terrifying the gritty streets of Glasgow?

A Scottish police procedural that will keep your pulse racing from electrifying opening to heart-stopping finish.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA’S NEW BLOOD DAGGER FOR BEST DEBUT OF THE YEAR

WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING:

“Glasgow comes alive in Caro Ramsay’s dark, vivid and daring thriller.” Val McDermid

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Instantly, thoroughly enjoyable. Characters complex and very well depicted, writing workmanlike . . . excellent dialogue.” Sandra

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I have fallen in love with Caro Ramsay’s books . . . You will feel the cold of a Scottish winter and the frustration of a small, under-resourced team trying to solve something far too big with far too little. A great read!” ElleJay

“Caro Ramsay works hard to bring the cold and constant dark and dirty Glaswegian rain to life . . . On every page the dialogue crackles, the language always remains crisp and fresh, and the details of the murder case are sharp and keenly observed.” Michael L.

“As much as this is a detective novel, it’s also a psychological thriller, and as such is beautifully done. It’s hard to believe this is a debut novel.” Colin M.

“Ramsay manages to paint a vivid picture of rain-lashed Glasgow. The stark late autumn landscape is a fitting backdrop to the brutal murders.” Publisher’s Weekly

THE DETECTIVES
DI Colin Anderson: A well-qualified graduate with true Scottish grit. He’s calm, efficient and focused — despite his marriage falling apart, and the fact that he’s just a tiny bit in love with the boss’s wife.

DS Winifred “Freddie” Costello: Pithy, sometimes crabbit (as they say in Glasgow), Costello is incredibly capable, but not above pushing boundaries when needed. She’s a well-respected officer who always puts police work first. She’s had a crush on DCI McAlpine for many years now, but that doesn’t stop her getting the job done.

THE SETTING
Drizzly, grey Glasgow and its seedy backstreets along with up-and-coming new estates is the setting for this gritty series. The realities of poverty and crime are laid bare — with the underfunded police department trying to keep the damn from breaking.

____________________

THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.

THE SETTING
Bromersley is a market town at the bottom of the Pennines surrounded by stone and hawthorn-edged fields grazed by cattle and sheep. The town’s industry today includes the manufacture of ball bearings and whisky bottles, and a huge brewery produces Bromersley’s best bitter, which is considered the finest beer for miles around. Wednesday is market day, and the town centre is host to the frequent cries of stall-holders hawking their wares while the enticing smells of cheeses, coffees, foreign spices and fish and chips tempt your taste buds as you wander through the stalls.

PRAISE FOR ROGER SILVERWOOD

“Solid plotting, unpretentious writing, thoroughly reliable entertainment.” Morning Star

“A cast of characters you really want to populate with familiar faces of actors you see each week on TV — great fun. Angel is terrific.” Books Monthly
