Anti heroes are a complicated bunch. Driven, flawed creatures, usually men, who have been used up and spat out by the system. Police anti heroes are the most complicated off all. If you ever get the chance to see the brilliant "Between the Lines" Neil Pearson's Det Superintendent Tony Clark embodies the career copper set to self destruct. (First two seasons are the best, three went off the rails a bit)
In fact Clark came to mind as I was reading Hollow Man. Although Hollow Man has the detective making some questionable choices for less than noble reasons, he can't stop being a copper. He can't stop investigating even though it could end his career and even his life. Hollow Man is out in August full review then.
