Book Description

8 July 2010
Mike Pannett used to work the beat in Central London - tackling drugs and knife crime - so when he moved back to Yorkshire he was hoping for a quieter life. But it seems the moors and villages of his native county aren't as sleepy as he once thought...

A casual remark about a barn with blacked-out windows leads him to an isolated farmhouse where skunk cannabis is being cultivated on an industrial scale, and at the height of the holiday season a young girl is attacked at a local theme park. As well as tackling these serious crimes, Mike is still trying to identify and bring to justice the Sunset Gang who are systematically targeting isolated warehouses and shops on his patch.

On the home front, Ann has moved into Keeper's Cottage and taken a Sergeant s post in York - and people are asking Mike what it s like to be a kept man.

Product Description

Review

'Pannett, the James Herriot of policing, tiptoes his way through domestic issues, stag nights, and sword-wielding madmen bent on decapitation and tells his tales with warmth and humour.' (Daily Express on You're Coming With Me Lad)

'Move over James Herriot and Gervase Phinn - there is a new name on the North Yorkshire literary block.' (York Press)

'Think 21st-century Heartbeat meets James Herriot with the occasional white-knuckle ride of The Sweeney throw in. All delivered with a Yorkshire twang.' (The Telegraph)

'After years in the Metropolitan Police, on the beat in central London, Mike Pannett is hoping for a quieter life when he moves back to his home county, Yorkshire. But crime lurks amid the hills and dales, moors, villages and towns and he finds some of the policing tactics he's learned in London come in very useful. More tales from this Yorkshire bobby, who is building a loyal collection of fans with his engaging books.' (Choice Magazine)

'NEVER mind ebooks, here is an eby-gum book, the third in the series of real-life police stories from an excopper with a huge affection for all things Yorkshire'. (Scarborough Evening News) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

Mike Pannett was born in York, and joined the Metropolitan Police in 1988. He transferred to North Yorkshire police in 1997 and now lives in a village in the shadow of the North Yorkshire moors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Copper who is right on the money! 15 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I cannot recommend this book highly enough! Another great edition in Mike's memoirs.It has been a while to wait since the last edition but this was worth waiting for.The reader is carried along in the passenger seat of Mike's car and you are with him every step of the way.It takes me back to my days as a rural officer and regularly found myself in situations similar to these.This is the 'real thing',Mike is right on the money.No phoney stuff here this is police work at it's best and in the 'real world'this is how it should be.I have only recently returned from the Malton area visiting relatives so the A64,Kirkham Abbey and Leavening(Jolly Farmers) are all paint fresh in my mind.A great read from start to finish.More like this please,Mike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Town Crime in the Countryside 23 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
The third in this series an excellent and entertaining read. Disturbing that organized crime takes place in such a beautiful county. Entertaing in characters Walter is my new pin up!Well written and humerouse, any body who has reag John Gresham,or Ian Rankin will find this a good read and very cutting edge. Dixon meets Zcars and Softly Softly! With a spluttering of Juliet Bravo.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT ON MY PATCH LAD 11 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
Most enjoyable book. As enjoyable as his previous two books, 'NOW THEN LAD' and'YOU'R COMING WITH ME LAD'.Particularly interesting if you know the areas of North Yorkshire Pannet writes about, but an enjoyable collection of stories , even if you are not familiar with the area.
