Patrick Jane was raised by a swindler father who included his young son in his carnival psychic act, touting Jane as “the boy wonder”.
He married Angela Ruskin, who was from a similar background, her family being members of a traveling carnival and “carnival royalty”. The couple had a daughter, Charlotte. They left the Carnival, determined to have a better life. Jane himself became a celebrity, making a very comfortable living working as a psychic, and he lived in comfortable celebrity until he criticized and openly mocked the serial killer Red John in a televised interview.
In retribution Red John killed Jane’s wife and daughter, leaving Patrick Jane a changed man.
