Meet New Orleans beat cop Maureen Coughlin
The Edgar Award winner Megan Abbott calls Coughlin "a hero with whom we will go anywhere." She's complicated--tough and naive, street-smart and vulnerable--and, way too often, reckless. AsLet theDevil Outopens, she's in rough shape. Just a rookie, she's already been suspended from the force. And things are about to get worse.
The FBI is in town on the trail of a ruthless anti-government militia group, the Watchmen Brigade. Nobody in the NOPD wants any part of working with them. Guess which suspended rookie is told she doesn't have a choice.
With the FBI and a white supremacist militia on the loose in New Orleans, the city is one big powder keg. Find out what happens when a brilliant but impulsive young cop lights a match.
The rising crime fiction star Bill Loehfelm knows New Orleans. The streets, the people. Where the power lies, and how it gets used--and abused. WithLet theDevil Out, Loehfelm raises the bar for sharp, compelling crime fiction. AsThe New York Timessays of the fascinating Maureen Coughlin, "She finds herself wrestling with ethical issues that fictional cops . . . rarely talk about, leaving that stuff to real-life cops--and smart guys like Bill Loehfelm."
