A comic book written by [[Greg Rucka]] about a group of spies in the Special Operations Section of the SIS called the Minders. The main character is Tara Chace, Minder Two. The series is known for a few things: the ridiculous amount of [[Shown Their Work|research]] Rucka does for each issue, the series [[Spiritual Successor|similarity]] to ''[[The Sandbaggers]]'', and just how realistic the whole thing is.
 
Characters in the series are:
* '''Tara Chace''': Main character and most often narrator. Beautiful, foul-mouthed, and very good at what she does. She starts the series as Minder Two.
* '''Tom Wallace:''' Minder One and the most senior Minder in the Pit (twelve years, which is very good considering how dangerous the job is).
* '''Ed Kittering:''' Minder Three and the most junior member. Still a little wet-behind-the-ears and has a crush on Tara.
* '''Paul Crocker:''' Director of Operations (D-Ops), the head of the Minders division, the [[Cynical Mentor]] to the entire team. He also cares very deeply about his operatives, but is perfectly willing to send them to their deaths if he has no other choice.
* '''Donald Weldon:''' Deputy Chief of Service, Crocker's boss. Gets into plenty of arguments with Crocker, but often backs him up.
* '''C:''' Chief of Service, everybody's boss, who ends up as {{spoiler|Francis Barclay}}. Most often, he's the [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]].
 
The first series has finished with 32 issues, three prequel volumes, and three novels. ''Operation: Broken Ground'' was the first published, but chronologically, they go:
