Doug Hoo is the son of James Hoo. He’s one of Sam Westing’s 16 potential heirs. A high school senior, track star, and accomplished athlete, Doug Hoo is a genial, easygoing kid who works in his family’s restaurant and enjoys picking on Turtle with Theo, his classmate, neighbor, and partner in the Westing game. Doug’s skills as a runner come in handy throughout the game as he is able to tail players who seem to know more than they’re letting on—such as Otis Amber. Doug’s enthusiasm is the perfect match for the brainier Theo’s diligence. After the conclusion of the Westing game, Doug goes on to become an Olympic gold medalist and a popular sportscaster.
