Tolliver Lang

Harper Connelly's companion in the books is Tolliver Lang, her stepbrother. He is four years her senior. Tolliver manages her clients (people who want her to solve murders for them) and acts as her manager. They have some sexual tension and romantic feelings for each other, and although they are not blood related, this is something they must cope with because they are step-siblings (Tolliver's father married Harper's mother).
