Easy...William Holbrook of "Pearls in Her Hair". He may not have stolen the spotlight from Mark & Karrie, but he certainly pushed himself into the story! He was supposed to be an idiot police sergeant, who only causes problems for Mark! Instead, he turned out to be his best friend, an important factor to the case, and he ends up marrying Hayley.
William (or more commonly known as Will) Holbrook starts out as desk sergeant on the police force, while Mark is detective sergeant. However, he gets promoted to detective sergeant, when Mark becomes detective chief. He's around twenty-six (or twenty-five) and a very easy-going kind of guy. A jokester. He immediately makes friends with Karrie when she first starts working at the station. When Mark takes on the case at the senator's home, William tags along as his right-hand man. He not only takes orders though...but he also advises Mark as a friend...helping him in anything and everything.
He's a caring dude...funny, great with people...
WARNING: SPOILERS OF "PEARLS IN HER HAIR" BELOW:
When Mark is accused of false testimony and accepting bribes, and taken off the case, Will is placed in charge of the case. It was his first case on his own and he rose to the occassion, working it out with the help of Hayley. As a non-Christian, it is when faced with the GH38 (Great Hurricane of '38), that he sees what life is like without God, which makes him begin to question what he really does and does not believe.
When Mark resigns from the force, Will is made Detective Chief...and at the end of the novel, he asks Hayley to wait for him while he considers following God. :P
He wears glasses too. lol. Just an odd tidbit there. :D Anywho, I loved him to bits. Not as much as Mark, but he was just fab. :D
