🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Russ Thomas
DS Tyler is a gay detective who has had his fair share of challenges. A recent incident left him with a scarred face, but he is glad to be alive. Thanks to this incident, Tyler is the only surviving member of the South Yorkshire cold-case unit. The reason why Tyler is still in the forces is his godmother Diane Jordan, and even with his connection, he knows that he will be sent home if there is another slipup. Tyler is one smart detective, and his ability to think on his feet makes him great at his job. However, he is the self-contained type that doesn’t work well in a team. The detective is known for his coldness, especially to those he works with, but this is understandable given the snide remarks he has to endure from them.
