Miss Scarlett

Miss Scarlett

A socialite, at first glance. A sharply intelligent investigative journalist, in reality. Writing under the nom de plume 'Cyan', she's landed mobsters in jail and taken down hometown heroes. No one is safe from her own because no one knows who she is. Except for Boddy Black, who just happens to need a glowing review of his hotel.
