Some Assured by Nicholas Rhea

When Matthew Taylor exchanged his job as a butcher for a career as a local insurance agent he never anticipated that on his first day he would deliver a stallion foal and kill seven pigs--all without selling a penn'orth of insurance. In the 1950s in rural Delverdale this is all in a day's work, and Matthew and his new family are happy to rise to the challenge, though persuading hard-headed Yorkshire folk to part with their money for 'summat thoo can't see', means Matthew has his work cut out for him
Rhea, Nicholas: -

Nicholas Rhea (1936-2017) began to writing in the late 1950s after years of casual interest, having his first short story published in the Police Review. As he continued to rise through the ranks at the region's police headquarters in Northallerton, he published his first novel, Carnaby and the Hijackers, in 1976. He is primarily known for his Constable Nick series, inspired by his many years of police service. He retired in 1982 to concentrate on his writing, encouraged by an interest in his Constable books from Yorkshire Television. This was to become the highly popular Heartbeat series, which ran for eighteen seasons and over 350 episodes.
