Characters in The DI Treloar Crime Thrillers

Inspector Félipe Treloar

Detective Inspector Félipe Treloar is the Senior Investigating Officer of the team. With his Cornish-Spanish parentage, farming background and blonde blue eyed good looks he is a darling of the media and appreciated by the Chief Constable. However his maverick nature and scant regard for procedure can get him into trouble. And like all members of his family - he loves cats.

But his creativity and drive have attracted the attention of a secret government agency he has worked alongside in the past and they want to recruit him.
