Description
A gripping third chapter for one of the most unforgettable and compelling heroines in crime fiction
"You have a temper, Officer Coughlin, and a propensity for violence . . . You’re a bit of a hazard. To others. To yourself."
Maureen
Coughlin is a bona fide New Orleans cop now, and, with her training
days behind her, she likes to think she’s getting the lay of the land.
Then a mysterious corpse leads to more questions than answers, and a
late-night traffic stop goes very wrong. The fallout leaves Maureen
contending with troubled friends, fraying loyalties, cop-hating enemies
old and new, and an elusive, spectral, and murderous new nemesis—and all
the while navigating the twists and turns of a city and a police
department infected with dysfunction and corruption.
Bill
Loehfelm is a rising star in crime fiction. And his Maureen Coughlin is
the perfect protagonist: complicated, strong-willed, sympathetic (except
when she’s not), and as fully realized in Loehfelm’s extraordinary
portrayal as the New Orleans she patrols. The first two installments in
this series won Loehfelm accolades as well as fans, and Doing the Devil’s Work
only ups the ante. It’s even faster, sharper, and more thrilling than
its predecessors. Taut and fiery, vibrant and gritty, and peopled with
unforgettable characters, this is the sinuous, provocative story of a
good cop struggling painfully into her own.
