Nate Heller
Gender: Male
His father was a police officer and Nathan ‘Nate’ Heller was one too. But he allowed himself to be corrupted, and instead became a successful private detective in the gangster-infected Chicago of the 1930s. He is of early middle age, morally rather lax, but he has a pleasant attitude and socialises with some of the city’s (real!) artists and criminals in a series of stories by Max Allan Collins.
