Characters<\/strong>
\nWilliam Warwick: main character.\u00a0 Has always wanted to be a police officer, and in this book is the new DC (Detective Constable) for the Arts & Antiquities Division.\u00a0 At the end of the book, Hawksby tells him that he will be sent to the graduates’ promotion programmed, and promoted to Sergeant, and that he will be transferred to another department.<\/p>\n

Commander Hawksby:\u00a0 head of the department<\/p>\n

DCI (Detective Chief Inspector) Bruce Lamont:\u00a0 \u00a0Warwick’s direct supervisor<\/p>\n

DS (Detective Sergeant) Jackie Roycroft:\u00a0 a colleague.\u00a0 She botches a takedown of a presumed art theft, and is demoted<\/p>\n

Miles Faulker: presumed art thief.\u00a0 The department has been chasing him for years for the theft of a Rembrandt painting for the Fitzmolean Museum.\u00a0 At the end of the book, he is found not guilty of theft, but guilty of receiving stolen goods, and is sentenced to 4 years, suspended sentence.\u00a0 On the final page, at a ceremony where the museum celebrates the return of the Rembrandt, and his donation of a Rueben, he whispers in\u00a0 Warwick’s ear that he’d love to show him the original.<\/p>\n

Christina Faulkner:\u00a0 Miles’s soon-to-be-ex wife.\u00a0 She’s clearly up to something, apparently trying to steal all of Miles’s art before he can do anything, but her plan goes wrong when he finds out.\u00a0 At his trial, it’s unclear who’s lying more–her or Miles.\u00a0 She sneaks into William’s bed one night while he’s supposed to be supervising the transfer of paintings, and he goes along with it since she seems to be a valuable ally against Miles.\u00a0 He doesn’t tell Beth about this.<\/p>\n

Sir Julian\u00a0 Warwick:\u00a0 William’s father, a very successful and well known defense attorney, which is partly why William wants to be a police officer, to catch criminals instead of set them free, like his father<\/p>\n

Grace Warwick: William’s sister, also an attorney<\/p>\n

Booth Watson: Faulker’s attorney, and longtime nemesis of both Sir Julian, and the Arts and Antiquities Division<\/p>\n

Beth Rainsford:\u00a0 Warwick’s love interest. She works at the Fitzmolean Museum, so she’s very interested in getting the Rembrandt back.\u00a0 Her father is in prison for a murder he did not commit.<\/p>\n

Arthur Rainsford:\u00a0 Beth’s father.\u00a0 His verdict is overturned in an appeal trial, thanks to Sir Julian and Grace Warwick.<\/p>\n
