Colin Thacker
Colin Thacker is a senior detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. He has reached an age when most men would be considering retirement, but he still loves his work. Honest, doggedly determined and seemingly unflappable, Colin has earned the admiration and respect of his fellow officers throughout a career in which he has seen nearly everything.
Overweight and largely indifferent to his appearance, Colin nevertheless commands respect whenever he enters a room. He takes particular pride in recognizing talent and mentoring younger policemen. The latest addition to the long list of men he has guided to successful careers in police work may be Dan Kelly.
Off duty, he lives quietly with his wife, Caroline, in their modest home in Hyde Park.
