Tanner Bolt
The lead detective assigned to Amy’s disappearance case. With her partner, Gilpin, Boney establishes a careful rapport with Nick over the course of the investigation. She knows he’s essential to uncovering the truth, but pins him as a suspect from the start and treats him with increasing suspicion as the evidence against him mounts—or seems to. Through it all, Boney seems unable to completely convince herself that Nick is guilty—and after Amy’s return, she devotes herself to helping Nick find a way to share the truth about who Amy is and what she did.
