Roy Grace
Roy Grace is a 39 year old Detective Superintendent for Sussex Police. A kind and decent man who; after the disappearance of his wife Sandy, throws his all into his work to avoid the all consuming sadness of losing her nine years ago. Friends have forced him into several blind dates over the years and he attempts internet dating but along with the guilt it brings upon him, he simply cannot accept there maybe another miss right out there for him. It seems at times his only constant companion is his goldfish; Marlon. Although after a first date with Chief Mortician Cleo Morey things maybe looking up for Grace.
With short, light cropped hair, a little more than a light fuzz on his face, five foot ten inches of height and eyes like Paul Newman, Grace is a good looking man, if a little rough around the edges. His nose is squashed and kinked after being broken in a scrap he’d had when he was a beat copper, which gives him the appearance of a retired prize fighter. His powerful physique, despite his love of booze and an on-off battle with cigarettes, is kept up by weekly twenty mile runs, hard work at the police gym and the occasional game of rugger, is often hidden in a shirt and tie due to the nature of his job.
He has a stubbornness and determination inside him that has driven him relentlessly throughout his life to pursue facts, to pursue the truth, which probably led to his early promotion to Detective Superintendent. His photographic memory and strong interest in medium ship has served very handy in his years in the Police force.
