Keri Krane (Katherine Hepburn?) Detective

As posted on Four Color Shadows, Keri Krane was the sister of a murdered policewoman, who decided to continue her sister's fight for justice by running a detective agency.  I have to agree with the poster that Keri is most certainly a copy of Katherine Hepburn, both in appearance and in the style of the dialogue.  It reminds me of the fast paced exchanges between Hepburn and Cary Grant in Bringing Up Baby
