Denton Deere
Dr. Denton Deere is a 25 year old man who is engaged to Angela Wexler, and lives in an unknown place in Milwaukee. He is an intern in plastic surgery, and graduated from UW medical school. At first he is thought to be involved in the Westing Game because he is engaged to Angela, who is a heir, but he since he was an expert in plastic surgery, he could have told if someone had plastic surgery (in this case Sandy McSouthers did) and helped solve the mystery. He listed his position in the Westing Game as "Intern, Saint Joseph's Hospital, Plastic Surgery Department."
Denton Deere's partner in the Westing Game was Chris Theodorakis. At first he thinks that it was for medical help for Chris (which actually became true) and is not very happy. He and Chris receive the clues "FOR PLAIN GRAIN SHED." Chris thinks that Grains=Oats=Otis Amber. Chris also thinks that For+d (from shed)=Judge Ford. Deere doesn't understand at first, but compliments Chris on his thinking. Later in the story, he takes Chris to the hospital to give him a revolutionary new medicine for his disease. It ends up stabilizing his speech and thoughts, but Chris is still confined to a wheelchair.
Angela and Denton break up, but still get married after 5 years when Angela came back from medical school. They have one daughter, Alice.
