 HARRY’S STORY
Harry Raines is cursed with an acute sense
of right and wrong, and the drive to do something about it. He joined the
NAPD to make a difference, only to learn that much of the department
was riddled by corruption, and too many of his colleagues were bought
and paid for by powerful orgcrime and corporate interests. So he left, and
became a private eye. PI work doesn’t pay the bills as well as policing, but
it does let Harry take the jobs he likes and turn down the ones that won’t
let him sleep at night. Years of seeing the worst humans can do to one
another have left him with a sardonic, world-weary demeanor that hides
his fear that the people around him might get hurt, and his anger when it
happens.
Harry and Tam Kamaka have been friends who share the same office
space for their respective businesses for years. Harry also knows Vince, as
the con artist keeps him informed about news from the criminal under-
world; and through them has become friends with the rest of the group.
He has a particular respect for Aditi, and he’s pretty sure he’s the only one
of their friends who’s figured out she’s an escaped clone.
