Detective Sergeant Daniel "Dan" Scott (John Hopkins) (series 7+8)—He is a lot cockier than his predecessor DS Troy; he is a Londoner who was not thrilled at being transferred from the Metropolitan Police Service to Midsomer, which he regards as the "sticks". His relationship with Tom was prickly at first; but it mellowed into a slightly awkward marriage of convenience, with Barnaby still disapproving of Scott's methods and Scott grudgingly starting to respect Barnaby. In "The Straw Woman", Scott develops a love interest who is brutally murdered. The episode is notable for Barnaby's lack of sympathy for Scott.

Although Hammett himself worked for a time as a private detective for the Pinkerton Detective Agency in San Francisco (and used his given name, Samuel, for the story's protagonist), Hammett asserted that "Spade has no original. He is a dream man in the sense that he is what most of the private detectives I worked with would like to have been, and, in their cockier moments, thought they approached."Introduction to The Maltese Falcon (1934 edition) Hammett reportedly drew upon his years as a detective in creating many of the other characters for The Maltese Falcon, which reworks elements from some of his stories published in Black Mask magazine in 1925, "The Whosis Kid" and "The Gutting of Couffignal". The mysterious stranger collapsing on the detective's doorstep and the valuable package from the far East seem to have come from the 1926 story the Creeping Siamese.
