Inspector Alan Grant

Alan Grant is a fictional police detective created by Scottish author Josephine Tey.

He appears in six mystery novels, including The Daughter of Time, Tey's most acclaimed work.

Physically, Grant is dark haired, has a Ronald Colman moustache, and is a dapper dresser.

He has a keen interest in poetry (having occasionally dabbled himself), the theatre, fishing, horse riding and golf.

He has had some romantic prospects (including actress Marta Hallard), but prefers to remain single.
