Constable in Disguise

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

A delightful account of Constable Nick’s foray into the CID, or as he thinks of it, “Constable In Disguise.” Nick joins the Criminal Investigation Department to learn about the work of the detectives in civilian clothes.

Asked to keep a watchful eye on a house thought to be used as a brothel, Nick quietly climbs the roof and sends a tile crashing through the window.

When the woman inside and her five brothers attack the neighbours for causing the damage, the police turn out in force and arrest everybody. Meanwhile Nick lies low on the roof.

Constable in Disguise was originally published in 1989.
