Freeman Wills Crofts - The Characters Inspector French More than 30 years of meritorious service at Scotland Yard result in promotions for Inspector Joseph French, first to Chief Inspector, finally to Superintendent. A patient, thorough sleuth and a formidable manhunter, French prefers to work out of his office, away from the dull routine of paperwork. His strength is breaking alibis. He is suave, easy-going, with a leisurely air. Keen, dark blue eyes twinkle in a good-humored face. He is stout, less than middle-height, and usually dresses in tweeds. French is happily married and likes good food and traveling.
