Who is Lily Rothenburg from Silent Prey and what is their importance? Silent_Prey English & Literature Lily Rothenburg | Silent Prey

Lily, a tough cop from Brooklyn, is in a difficult situation from the get-go. She, like Lucas, has an estranged ex-husband and children, but has finally found someone she cares about. However, Kennett's heart attacks put a strain on her relationship physically. She has to be extremely careful with him, while with Lucas she can let go and just be herself. She feels guilty for sleeping with Lucas but convinces herself it is purely physical, with no emotion attached. Perhaps under different circumstances Lily and Lucas could have been something, but their lives took different paths. Lily's respect for O'Dell is understandably because of his political genius, though Kennett resents this relationship.
