Inspector Marlen
There is no department in the MOORE structure that deals with solving crimes in the show business environment, but there is one special person who practices this and quite successfully - investigator Marlene Simonov. Simonov is an investigator of the "old school". Behind the mask of a simpleton in an old jacket lies an unsurpassed powers of observation, which Marlene has honed over the years, and over time has turned into a "walking lie detector" capable of unnerving anyone to tell more than he intended.
