Founder

Éric Antony

Trench coat, threadbare hat, three-day beard. An Android phone scrubbed of every trace of Google. Discreet out of necessity, methodical by temperament.

Front desk

The agency's steady hand

She keeps the appointments, the mail, and everyone's nerves in order — including Éric Antony's.

Fieldwork

An assistant, an informant

One opens doors people would rather keep shut. The other knows what's being said before it's said.
