I think (because at the time, I thought "Hey, this could be a crossover!") rivrea probably refers to the Dalziel and Pascoe books by Reginald Hill (and televised). But in fact the sergeant is called Dalziel by DLS.

I had completely forgotten about that detail and thought you were indeed aiming for a crossover with Reginald Hill's mystery novels.

I don't think the names of very minor characters in one of the less-read books are required for anyone not on Mastermind (I only know because I looked it up).
