First appearance: the black bag left on a doorstep
As a supporting figure in The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective, Griffiths is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The Newcastle detective in charge, who suspects Harry Craven and communicates with Loveday via postboy.
Griffiths belongs to the professional network of inspectors and detectives who hand cases to Loveday and then watch, half-skeptical, as she outthinks them. His world is procedure, jurisdiction, and the cautious plural pronoun — the institutional counterweight to her intuitive, drawing-room methods. He matters because the friction between official police work and Loveday's quieter approach is exactly where the early mysteries gather their tension.
