Geoffrey Grant

In the novel Nemesis, Geoffrey Grant is a young man and resident of Jocelyn St. Mary. After the disappearance of Verity Hunt and the subsequent discovery of her body, Geoffrey became a suspect and was called up by the police for questioning.

According to Mrs Merrypit, the police was quite sure it was Geoffrey at first. Mrs Merrypit thought that he was "always a  bit  queer" even as a young boy. He used to interfere with little  girls  going  to  school and  offer  them  sweets  and  "get  them  to  come  down  the  lanes  with him  and  see  the  primroses,  or  something  like  that." Like many of the young men questioned by the police, he was unemployed. The police eventually concluded that it wasn't Geoffrey.
