Constable at the Dam

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

Change is coming, whether the villagers like it or not. Plans are afoot to build a vast new reservoir, a mere stone’s throw from the sleepy village of Aidensfield.

Now they know what’s coming, the villagers are up in arms. What chaos will ensue once the construction workers move in? Curmudgeonly Sergeant Blaketon fears all manner of disruptive high jinks, and Constable Nick would have to agree with him.

As works get underway, he has to contend with a stormy lovers’ tiff as well as two teenagers looking for kicks on the construction site. There’s definitely something in the water at Aidensfield . . .

Constable at the Dam was originally published in 1997.
