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-

After years of casual interest, Nicholas Rhea (1936-2017) began writing in the late 1950s and had his first short tale published in the Police Review. In 1976, he released his debut novel, Carnaby and the Hijackers, while continuing to ascend through the ranks at the region's Police Headquarters in Northallerton. He is most known for his Constable series, which was inspired by his many years as a cop. Yorkshire Television's interest in his Constable novels prompted him to retire in 1982 to focus on his writing. This would go on to become the popular Heartbeat television series, which lasted eighteen seasons and 350 episodes.
