The Detective Superintendent Mark Pemberton series is Nicholas Rhea’s traditional police procedural work, set in small Yorkshire communities. Pemberton is a senior detective who handles cases ranging from historical family secrets to high-profile security operations.
The first two books, False Alibi (1991) and Grave Secrets (1992), were published under Peter N. Walker’s real name. The remaining seven appeared under the Nicholas Rhea pseudonym. The nine novels span from 1991 to 2008, with a grittier tone than the Constable Nick books.
