Jan Fabel is a fictional contemporary German detective created by Craig Russell (British author). Fabel, whose rank is that of Erster Kriminalhauptkommissar (Principal Chief Commissar), is the fictitious head of the Mordkommission (Murder Squad) of the Polizei Hamburg (Hamburg Police). Fabel is half-Scottish, half-German and trained as a historian before becoming a policeman. The cases he investigates tend to involve a strong historical or mythological element.
