PJ Hasham – Martin Sacks
PJ Hasham — his initials stand for Patrick Joseph (not "Private Joke", as Nick once suggested) — is the obstinate resident detective at Mt Thomas. His days before joining the Mt Thomas police are shrouded within the mysterious realms of a "dark past". He had a long relationship with colleague Maggie Doyle, and the two became engaged shortly before she was murdered by her brother, Mick.
