Chief Inspector (later Superintendent) Roderick Alleyn, of Scotland Yard, is a suave, urbane and charming policeman who happens to be of aristocratic background; tall and lean, good-looking and scholarly, he invites comparison with Lord Peter Wimsey, but is rather more practical and modest. In Artists in Crime (1938), he meets his wife, Agatha Troy, who is a renowned portrait painter and (like Wimsey's wife Harriet) a, strong-minded and independent woman. the other stamps in the set:
