# Mr. Morgan — The Sea Mystery character guide

> Mr. Morgan in The Sea Mystery by Freeman Wills Crofts.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** this Mr. Morgan

**First appearance:** 0000-i-mr-morgan-meets-tragedy

## Snapshot

A small, clean-shaven Welsh businessman in a baggy Norfolk suit, whose quiet evening of fishing in Burry Inlet ends with a grisly catch.

## Who they are

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.
