Series Characters
Inspector Cockrill
Cockrill is a shrewd and crotchety Detective Inspector of the Kent police. He wears a soft felt hat, set sideways on his head, and a disreputable old mackintosh, in the pockets of which he often fishes for either paper or tobacco. He is a little man who appears to be older than his actual age. He has deep-set eyes beneath a broad brow, an aquiline nose and a mop of fluffy white hair fringing a magnificent head. Widely noted for having a heart of gold beneath his irascible exterior, he is affectionately known as "Cockie."
