# Albert Sorrell — The Man in the Queue character guide

> Albert Sorrell in The Man in the Queue by Josephine Tey.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mr. Sorrell, Master Robert

**First appearance:** 0000-i-murder

## Snapshot

Bert Sorrell's father, drawn into the inquiry as Grant traces the dead man's few remaining ties and the family that scattered after the War.

## Who they are

Albert Sorrell belongs to the thin trail of relations Grant follows when the obvious leads run dry, part of the quiet domestic history behind a man who seemed to have no one. His connection to Bert sharpens the question of who Sorrell really was and why he left England so deliberately. In a case where identity keeps shifting, the family left behind is one more piece Grant cannot afford to skip.
