Sergeant Cluff Goes Fishing by Gil North
When Detective-Sergeant Cluff, on the lookout as ever, overhears a conversation in Gunnarshaw concerning the Amblers' estate in Egilsby, he grows suspicious. But when Colonel Ambler is found dead at the riverside, Cluff - unorthodox as ever - promptly embarks on a fishing trip to investigate, much to the despair of Inspector Mole.
Gil North's eleven novels following the investigations of Detective-Sergeant Cluff, in the fictional and close-knit moorland market town of Gunnarshaw, were first published in the 1960s. Incredibly popular, they were adapted for BBC Television and regularly attracted twelve million viewers. Gil North wrote the scripts for every episode.
Gil North was the pen-name of Geoffrey Horne (1916-1988). He was born in Skipton, North Yorkshire, where his father was Town Clerk. Horne was educated at the local grammar school, then studied at Christ's College, Cambridge, before
embarking on a career as a civil servant in Nigeria and Cameroon.
He later returned to pursue his writing ambitions in his native Skipton, which was not only the inspiration for Gunnarshaw, but also the location where the television drama Cluff was filmed.
