Peter N. Walker’s non-fiction reflects his twin interests in the legal system and Yorkshire. His earlier non-fiction titles, Courts of Law (1970) and Punishment (1972), deal with the mechanics of British justice. His later true crime books focus on real murders and mysteries from the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales.
The Yorkshire crime history books connect naturally to Walker’s fiction, which is also rooted in the Yorkshire landscape. Baby Relax (1986) is an outlier in the catalog, dealing with childcare rather than crime. Together, these five titles show the range of knowledge that informed Walker’s long fiction career.
