Ezra Carr

Ezra Carr was the ghost-writer for a series of books by former-Conservative cabinet minister, Gerald Eastland. He tragically lost his wife at the age of 18, in the late 1970s.

In 1998, Bill and Shirley attempted a robbery of his mansion, to which, during it, he was knocked unconscious and lost his memory. Shirley, who had in fact killed her predatory Uncle Bill, told Ezra that he had done it, and made up a new identity for him - telling him that his name was Robin Priest and she was his wife. The two of them soon had a baby together and went onto live a relatively normal life.

In late 1999, the body of Uncle Bill was found at Carr's mansion, which had long since been abandoned, and it was assumed to be Ezra Carr. At the time, Robin Priest was having an affair with Mimi Tranter, who enlisted Jonathan Creek and Madeline Magellan to investigate. After investigation, they worked out what had happened, and revealed the truth to Robin. (S3: Ghost's Forge)
