Summary

Abstract: There's a puzzle for Constable Nick when hikers find an empty coffin and another head-scratching problem for Claude Jeremiah Greengrass when he's asked to tidy two local graveyards. During his rustic duties, Nick discovers the romantic legend of Witch Hill and learns that old-fashioned methods of dealing with wrongdoers prevail on the moors when he finds a village lock-up complete with occupant. There is concern when all 30 competitors on a motor rally get lost and bafflement when a box of chocolates, a raffle prize, is found to contain £100 - but no one wants it. Duty calls as a thief steals a murderer's driving licence, a miser fakes his own death and a lady identifies a detective as the man who stole her handbag. It's all in a day's work for Constable Nick of Aidensfield.
