Walter McCain

Walter McCain is an American guest at Hotel Reger in Part 1 of Murder in the Alps. He is both a co-investigator and a suspect, and later on a victim of the crimes committed at the hotel.

Physical Appearance
Walter is a conventionally handsome, trim, sandy-haired and light-skinned man. He wears a beige ruffled cardigan, with a red scarf underneath it, and black dress pants and shoes.

Personality
Ambitious but calm, Walter seems to take a lot of responsibility in solving the crimes at the hotel. He is ready for action, and demands answers in a straight-forward manner. His inward-turned sociability, however, becomes an obstacle when it leads Anna Myers and Otto Reger to believe that he is the most likely suspect for the murders.

He is very interested in archaeology and Asian religions. That means he is also an admirer of Professor Clark.

Abilities
Walter is capable with firearms and speaks English. Not much else is known.

Anna Myers
Anna and Walter start solving the murders together with Otto. Later on, however, Anna and Otto start doubting Walter.

Professor Clark
Walter is an admirer of the Professor for his archaeological and anthropological studies.
