## Snapshot

A woman known by more than one name, whose assumed identity makes her the kind of slippery figure Kennedy's methods are built to unmask.

## Who they are

Marie moves through the cases under the alias Mrs. May Popper, a double identity that makes her both suspect and cipher. She belongs to the shadowy population of the stories—people whose real names are the first thing a detective has to earn. Her shifting names matter because they show how much of the book's crime lives in disguise, and how much of Kennedy's science is really about seeing through it.
