    The desk clerk

    The weekday clerk at the Hôtel des Lilas in Paris, more interested in his newspaper than his guests. He has always dreamed of being a private eye.

    The man at the café

    A nervous regular at the Dauphin café across from the hotel, in love with the hotel’s maid and unsure how to talk to her.

    The maid

    The chambermaid at the Hôtel des Lilas, guarding the corridor “like Cerebus would guard Hades”, broom in hand.

    The ticket clerks

    The staff of desks 3, 6 and 8 at the Paris station, each sending Louis to the next.

    Christine Leather

    A young woman with short red hair whom Louis meets on the train home from Paris. She says she has known Anne a long time, and seems hurt that Louis doesn’t remember her.
