描述
IT’S CONSTABLE NICK UP AGAINST THE NUMBER ONE LOCAL TROUBLEMAKER
Although local crime is low, the first suspect for any wrongdoing is Claude Jeremiah Greengrass. Always coasting on the edge of the law, Greengrass has an answer for everything.
Whether trying to earn a quick penny from selling ‘holy water’ he collected from a well, which poisons his neighbours. Or conning the patrons of the local village fair by switching out his coconuts for a cheaper alternative. Nothing is what it seems when Greengrass is involved.
When reports are received that his trusty dog, Alfred, is stealing food and being a general nuisance, Constable Nick investigates. Is the dog beginning to pick up his owner's traits? Or is there another explanation for Alfred's sudden personality change?
Can Constable Nick and Sergeant Blaketon finally succeed in charging this rogue for one of his many misdemeanours?
