Book description
Mike Pannett, once of the Metropolitan Police, is back in Yorkshire,
policing one of the largest rural beats in England. Mike is called to
investigate a series of burglaries, which are sending shock waves
through the area. Remote farmhouses appear to be the targets, which
stretches Mike's small team to the limits. Then, as winter sets in, two
dogs are found running loose - Mike fears the owner has gone missing in
the dreadful weather and is forced to call on a full-scale search. Throw
in a night-time operation in an empty museum, and the harrowing business
of taking three children into care against their mother's wishes, and
it's quite a case-load for the author of Now Then, Lad, You're Coming
With Me, Lad, Not On My Patch, Lad and Just the Job, Lad.
'After years in the Metropolitan Police, on the beat in central
London, Mike Pannett is hoping for a quieter life when he moves back
to his home county, Yorkshire. But crime lurks amid the hills and
dales, moors, villages and towns and he finds some of the policing
tactics he's learned in London come in very useful. More tales from
this Yorkshire bobby, who is building a loyal collection of fans with
his engaging books.'
Mike Pannett was born in York, and served nearly twenty years in the
police. After starring in BBC's
Country Cops
he was inspired to write about his adventures in the North Yorkshire
force. Mike now lives in a small village in the shadow of the North
Yorkshire moors.
