MEET THE DETECTIVES

With his square jaw and light South African lilt,

Detective Orion Tanzy

is considered quite the catch in Darlington. But Orion is devoted to his wife Pip. She’s had her struggles, but together they’re raising their two beautiful young children. Orion studied forensic science at university, and after joining the force moved up the ranks to join Max as a detective inspector. The dream of working in forensics may have faded, but Orion still watches

Silent Witness

and wonders how his career could have been.

Detective Max Byrd

joined the police force as soon as he turned eighteen. His father was an army man, but he encouraged a reluctant Max to try the police instead. Twenty-three years later, he’s not once regretted the decision. A love of takeaways means Max doesn’t have the same washboard stomach as Orion, but an even greater love of five-a-side football — and his new partner Claire — keep him in good nick.

THE SETTING

Darlington, in the far north-east of England, is a small market town where everyone knows everyone. It’s a proper northern town with a proud industrial heritage thanks to the old wool manufacturing industry. The bustling centre is the heart of the town, with the river Tees running around the outskirts, and, while it’s a busy little place during the day, at night, there are plenty of dark, quiet alleyways you’d do well to stay away from.
