DCS Bob Toal

World weary, Bob Toal's days of policing Edinburgh are numbered. His beloved plants are dying and, with them, Toal's stomach for the job - or maybe it's the other way around. Perpetually stressed, Toal is counting down the days until he can collect his police pension and spend time on his allotment with his little grandson. But the road to retirement won't be an easy one; this latest case is high profile and will be a political nightmare for Toal to navigate, as he tries to prepare his proteges for life in Serious Crime without him.
