Meet Grant And His Crew

From the sunny beaches of Malibu to the corridors of power in Office of the Los Angeles District Attorney, Detective Grant Westmore’s kind of justice is interested in one thing: truth.

A former LAPD detective turned Beverly Hills private investigator, Westmore hasn’t come this far without learning that to catch a killer you have to think like one.

While around him loves are betrayed, lives are lost, the innocent are endangered and the guilty spin webs of deceit, Westmore gathers a team unflinching in their loyalty.

Depicted with such razor-sharp vividness, the compelling principal characters of Privilege come to life.

Grant Westmore

They broke the mold with Grant Westmore, a well-manicured, charismatic, chiseled-faced, mid-forties private investigator. Principled and sophisticated, tenacious and brilliant, Grant takes risks for a living. He is tough, a natural competitor, and a born leader who has a stake in every case. He invents his own rules, settling only for what works.

Retired from “the Job” nearly a decade ago, Grant thrives on justice more than affirmation or advancement, and never accepts unanswered questions. His clients and colleagues marvel at his clout in the City of Angels, but are even more impressed with his restraint: Grant only wields that enviable clout when necessary to defend his clients and unearth the truth.

And that’s why Grant and his crew are hired by the District Attorney: to ensure the young Hollywood privileged don’t wiggle their way out of the charges filed against them for murdering an LAPD detective.

In Grant’s world, the conclusion to a great week is solving the unsolvable case, and then celebrating with a round of golf at his country club with a fine cigar and a double-on-the-rocks single malt scotch.

Marlene Wilson

The dream girl of private investigators, Marlene Wilson is easily mistaken for a high fashion model or a Hollywood celebrity. If it weren’t for her career, she’d spend her days shopping for fashionable stilettos and driving fast cars.

This sultry, mid-thirties super sleuth quit the LAPD when Grant offered to triple her salary in order to provide his agency with the needed mortar in the areas of interrogation, surveillance, and technology. Grant’s loyal and most trusted assistant investigator, she is a “just the facts” sort of woman who thinks on her feet in tight situations and readily takes on tasks others would never attempt.

Grant calls upon Marlene’s unique talents to infiltrate Tinseltown’s inner circle.

But she’s also sincere, warm, and sensitive, mesmerizing others with her incredibly brilliant mind. Although Grant often teases her about how her marriage proposals arrive in mailbags, Marlene is an independent woman, a flirt without being flimsy.

Carmela Gambini

A former New York deputy district attorney, Carmela Gambini is Grant’s effervescent girlfriend who sticks around in case Grant and Marlene find themselves in a legal pinch, which happens quite frequently.

This self-assured and conscientious fortyish attorney is now in private practice in L.A. representing the same sort of people she had spent nearly a decade trying to put behind bars in Manhattan. Much to the dismay of her Soprano-like relatives, Carmela personifies the highest ethical and moral standards, outwitting some of the best legal minds in Los Angeles, starting with the two defense attorneys representing the privileged for murder.

Grant met Carmela while he was handling a murder case in New York. Trying her best to maintain a professional aura, this loving, faithful, and downright sexy Italian princess even consulted a speech specialist when she arrived in L.A. to eliminate her New York accent. Her zany personality no expert could normalize.
