Julian R. Eastman
Barney Northrup is a salesman charged with renting the six available apartments in the newly-constructed Sunset Towers on Lake Michigan—and an alias of Sam Westing. Barney Northrup wears a disguise—a bad wig and buck-toothed dentures—in order to throw the Westing heirs off his trail. Northrup is unkind and business-oriented above all else. He is the most minor of Westing’s aliases.
