Sam Wylder

The Character

Trained in secrets. Retired into them.

Once an Australian intelligence operative, Sam Wylder walked away from the espionage world for a quieter life as a private investigator. The instincts didn't leave with the badge — she still reads a room before she enters it, and trusts almost no one.

Sydney Harbour is her territory: the glamour on the surface and the machinery beneath it. She knows which favours are owed, which fortunes are dirty, and how far powerful people will go to keep a secret buried.
