Jimmy Rose

Jimmy Rose, a character in the Crimes of Passion series, is your late father. He is first mentioned in Book 1, Chapter 2.

Personality
Jimmy can be described as just and honorable, as he took many criminals off the streets, and fought the corruption in the system. As a father, he was very caring and supportive.

Background
Jimmy Rose was a NYPD detective who was killed in the line of duty. He was stabbed at a baseball game and died in front of you when you were 13, and he used to read case files by the pool table and getting ashes on the felt. In Chapter 11, Tommy tells you about one of your father's cases, the Blackowicz. This specific case was a triple homicide involving a husband and two kids, with the wife being charged for the murder. Despite the wife being convicted, Jimmy believed that she was innocent, and six months later the real killer was caught using a DNA match Jimmy found. Afterwards, he spray-painted "Told you so" on his captain's office, and got suspended for two weeks.

Your Character
You had all of Jimmy's attention and love. You are angry that he was taken away from you and devastated that he missed out so much from your life, but you try to remember the good things. When you were a child, he used to tuck you in at night, drive you to soccer games, make you fluffernutter sandwiches, watch Ghostbusters with you, and he helped you build a little fort with lights in the attic. Jimmy is the reason you joined the police force, and back when he was alive, he used to tell you details about his most exciting cases. In Book 2 Chapter 4, you tell Trystan that he used to accuse you of skipping class.

Trystan Thorne
You take Trystan to your father's grave in Book 1, Chapter 17, and tell him that Trystan is someone important to you. Trystan tells Jimmy that he did a wonderful job with you, and that he should be proud of you.

Niko Borodin
While it is unknown if Jimmy and Niko knew each other directly, Niko orders Matty to steal your father's gun and badge in Chapter 7 for revenge. When Niko is arrested, he tells you that this isn't over, and that you messed with the wrong people. He also says that this will bite you in the ass like it bit your father, and tells you to ask the Scarlottis and Big V who's laughing with your father's death.
