# Sir Lawson Hunter — Call Mr. Fortune character guide

> Sir Lawson Hunter in Call Mr. Fortune by H. C. Bailey.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Sir Lawson

**First appearance:** 0000-case-i-the-archduke-s-tea

## Snapshot

A government minister whose public eminence hides private entanglements, Sir Lawson Hunter moves through the case with the weight of office and the wariness of a man with something to lose.

## Who they are

Sir Lawson Hunter occupies the respectable heights of politics and society, the kind of man whose name opens doors and whose actions ripple far beyond his own career. He is connected to the Lunt family's affairs in ways that make his testimony valuable and his motives worth questioning. His presence turns a country-house death into something with political consequence, and his careful handling of Reggie Fortune suggests he knows more than he is willing to say.
