Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson

Stevie’s more than just a colleague to River; she is his closest confidante and his only real friend.

She is the woman who best understood River’s unique perspective and who helped him navigate the complexities of a world he finds so difficult. She is also a manifest.

Funny, fierce and loyal, her self-deprecating wit and wisdom belied an inner soul as conflicted and shattered as River’s own; she just hid it better.

Utterly committed to her profession, she has escaped the confines of a claustrophobic and crimeridden family to make her own way in the world, at great personal cost. She knew how to lighten and enliven those moments when the day-in-day-out reality of policing a brutal and complicated city became too much- which made the task more bearable both for herself… and River, too.

As River delves deeper into the events surrounding Stevie’s brutal and apparently senseless murder, the Stevie he thought he knew better than anyone bears less and less resemblance to her truest self.
