ⓘ About Stephen Spotswood

This marks the start of a solid partnership that would see this duo solving many cases together. It doesn’t take long for Lillian to realize that Will is the best career decision she ever made. After being a jack of all trade at the circus, Will came with a set of skills Lillian would put into good use while solving her cases. Will is a quick learner, and a few cases later, she can not only pick the door but also teach self-defence to women who needed these skills. Will is doing well for someone who did not think she could amount to much after escaping home at a tender age. Three years later, Lillian and Will are working on a case that will leave all of them shaken. Abigail Collins is bludgeoned to death using a crystal ball after a night of party and booze in her house.
