<<Peter Walker, another North England copper, is
best-known in this
country as Nicholas Rhea, the author of a series of gentle
short stories
about a rural beat cop in the English Hinterlands, *Constable
on the
Hill*, etc., sort of to law enforcement what *All Creatures*
is to
veterinary medicine. Under his own name and other pseudonyms
(i.e.
Christopher Coram, et al) he's considerably tougher. Except
for the
Rhea books, a few non-fiction books, and a few articles, he's
virtually
unknown in the States.>>
I have a vague recollection that Peter Walker is or was a
member of
rara-avis. Perhaps Captain Bill can confirm?
Now a question to Jim and others who are expert in English
procedurals.
professional jargon, are more talkative, and have a freer
hand in
investigations than American ones (Mario Balzic excepted, of
course). Is
this a consequence of the differences in laws and procedures,
or just a
difference in national character? Or am I misjudging the
whole thing?
