First appearance: I: Mr. Morgan Meets Tragedy
As a supporting figure in The Sea Mystery, Mr. Morgan is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Manager of a tinplate works at Burry Port; discovers the crate containing a body while fishing with his son.
Morgan rows out with his fourteen-year-old son Evan, his best pal, for the ordinary pleasure of an autumn tide and two undersized mackerel. He is a man of small freedoms — the worn suit his wife detests, the office left behind on shore — and the Inlet's twenty-five-foot tides are a fact he respects without fearing. What he hauls up instead of fish turns a family idyll into the opening of Inspector French's case.
