Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Petra
Petra
Has read every spy thriller ever printed. Believes all of them.
Courier — Always on the move. Knows every back door.
In their own words
“I'm just an ordinary citizen. Very ordinary.”
“I'd make an excellent spy. Not that I am one.”
“Trust no one. Except maybe me.”
“I'd make an excellent spy for the Crown. Not that I am one.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Petra has stood in 26 lineups so far, as a postie, a jockey, a volunteer, a delivery driver, a messenger, a intern and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 22 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Petra turned out to be a criminal 8 times and innocent 14 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
