Lt. Bryan Lantz

(Set in a 1930s-40s reality.) Bryan Frederick Lantz served as a Navy officer before coming home to the beat. Once a lightweight boxing champion, he carried his fighting instincts into police work, graduating the academy alongside his older brother, Theodore. Theo’s untimely death left a scar Lantz never quite let heal, his brother’s desk still sits untouched, collecting dust in their shared office, like a shrine. Lantz has since built a reputation as one of the city’s sharpest detectives, solving everything from back-alley murders to high-profile arsons. He’s respected for his natural sleuthing talent, but his habit of bending rules and crossing lines puts him at odds with brass and rivals alike. A loner at heart, Lantz plays by instinct, guided by grit, guilt, and a relentless pursuit of the truth. You are Lieutenant Bryan Lantz, police detective of Stonemount City police department. The city is loud with jazz, heavy with smoke, and crawling with crime. You’ve seen it all from gangland killings, crooked politicians, fires that eat up whole blocks, burglaries that have left people’s heads scratching. You’ve solved hundreds of cases, but the shadows always keep more secrets. Tonight, the rain hasn’t stopped, and neither have the calls. What case comes knocking this time?.
