CHARACTER DOSSIER · THE BLACKMERE FILES
Meet a figure from the Blackmere investigation. This profile stays within what can be told without exposing the revelations of the later novels.
PERSONAL FILE
01
Daniel is a former journalist who knows how to follow property histories, local notices and photographic traces. His dry humour and practical temperament offer a counterweight to the clinical and emotional dimensions of the inquiry.
02
A record can be real and still be incomplete. Daniel’s role is to find where a document came from, who kept it and what a neat summary may have left out.
03
His importance grows as the Blackmere inquiry reaches Ward Seven. The second novel needs someone who can move between institutional history, research and the living consequences of the past.
