**First appearance:** 0001-the-bellamy-trial

## Snapshot

The prosecutor who turns a small-town murder into a national spectacle, Farr builds his case witness by witness with methodical, unrelenting precision.

## Who they are

As the state's counsel, Farr commands the courtroom's rhythm, extracting testimony from servants, doctors, and schoolgirls with the patience of a man assembling a clock. His unshowy rigor contrasts sharply with the defense's theatrics, and his quiet confidence that the truth will out makes him both formidable and faintly unsettling. Every witness he calls tightens the net around the defendants, and the reader watches his strategy unfold with the same fascination as the packed gallery.
