They meet when Charlotte Gray visits the detective headquarters as she is the protégé of Clara Frisbe. She thinks there is more to the story than just drunken brawls. And Theodore Cass has the urge to agree.

Charlotte Gray will do all she can to help her poor family and alcoholic father. She also wants to spread awareness about the evil and pain of drunkenness but also the danger of banning those kinds of drinks.

Theodore Cass comes from the family that their town is named after. Therefore, it goes without saying that he has loaded pockets. He is doing everything in his power to climb the ranks and become the greatest detective in the town, if not the country. After all his expensive training, why shouldn’t he be the best? But, unfortunately for him, he’s the youngest and newest so he’ll have to prove himself.
