Line 1:

Charles Todd's Inspector Ian Rutledge has appeared in thirteen mysteries since 1996, with the fourteenth scheduled for 2012. A [[World War One]] veteran, Rutledge has severe [[Shell -Shocked Veteran|shell shock]]: he unceasingly hallucinates the voice of Hamish MacLeod, a young Scottish officer he was forced to execute for dereliction of duty. Hamish provides a running commentary on Rutledge's cases, which is sometimes helpful, sometimes not. In times of stress, however, Hamish becomes extremely vindictive, and makes it impossible for Rutledge to hear or understand anything else.
 
 
Line 18:
* [[Limited Advancement Opportunities]]: Rutledge is stuck at DI because Bowles repeatedly sabotages his career, once going so far as to {{spoiler|sign off on his arrest for the attempted murder of another detective.}}
* [[Police Procedural]]
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]
