DI Peter Drummond

A gifted but deeply unambitious cop, Pete transferred to the Special Technologies Task Force (the small police unit that deals with the tiny amount of Synth-related crime) for a quiet life, saner hours and to spend some time on his marriage. He thought he'd left the sordid world of human crime behind, but instead he found himself on the weird fringes of a changing society – witnessing first-hand the darkest aspects of how Synths are transforming our lives for the worse, in his eyes at least. He's grown angry, bitter and cynical – convinced that the Synthetics he polices will be our downfall, twisting our relationships and poisoning our ability to communicate. It doesn't help he has one at home helping his wife Jill recuperate from a car accident. And he's starting to think Jill likes her "Simon" more than him
