Marina Lazarova

Marina Lazarova (alias Marie LaSalle) is a character in Elsa's Revelations. She is a con artist and extortionist with a long rap sheet with the NYPD. Political operative Burton Trumbull approaches her to make false allegations against Stallbrook's police chief Delbert Graham, paying her $50,000 in various negotiable instruments. Lazarova contacts New York Chronicle reporter Liz Cochrane for an interview, using the alias of Marie LaSalle. When Cochrane indicates that she would need to do more follow-up on the story, Lazarova then contacts Cochrane's editor and threatens to accuse the publisher of misconduct as well, thus pressuring him to rush the story into print. Later, when Elsa Wahrheit interviews Lazarova, she uncovers her fraud, and with help from NYPD Detectives Harry Benson and Roscoe Trainor, gets the Chronicle's publisher to retract the story and file charges against Lazarova, who later implicates Trumbull.
