Meet the Detectives
Flo Hammond
Society columnist turned crime reporter
Intelligent, observant, growing more confident with each case. Previously timid, now finding her voice under Jessie's influence. Skilled at reading people and navigating social connections. Romantic tension with Detective Sergeant Jode.
Jessie Circle
American adventurer with a mysterious past
Tall, bold, dramatic, sharp-tongued. Wears trousers in an era when it's still startling. Allergic to boredom. Something happened in New York that she's left behind — the mystery of her past runs through the series. Her lilting voice can turn cold when confronting villains.
