DSI Peter Boyd
A high flyer and a maverick, Boyd is assured, impatient and a bit of a bully both to his suspects and occasionally to his team members.
Possessing overwhelming self-belief, he is firm in his conviction but lets go gracefully when proved wrong.

He is also deeply affected by the death of two of his team, Mel Silver at the end of and Stella Goodman at the beginning of .
