Jack Bing
Eek! I’m rather late to doing this. My name is Roz and I actually have two characters. This is the first of them. He’s called Jack Bing and he’s a newspaper reporter at the failing and ironically named Daily News*.
Jack is hoping to solve the murder of a man in mob-related violence, the first case he ever reported on, but his idealism and general naivety are going to get him in trouble. He’s pro prohibition and anti-mob rule. He also has a father who wishes he’d come home and give up this foolish writing and a younger sister, Clara, who is playing at being daddy’s secretary until she marries one of the junior executives. Jack doesn’t see eye to eye with them.
