Prayers for the Devil

by Bruce Weber

First published 2015

Frank Coyle walks his beat in the city's most dangerous neighborhood. While other cops chase arrest numbers and write stacks of tickets, Frank has never drawn his weapon and barely meets his monthly quota. His arrest record sits at the bottom of the department roster. Frank sees jail as punishment for violent criminals only. Everyone else deserves a different kind of justice. His methods don't follow department protocol. When lawbreakers cross Frank's boundaries, they learn his rules the hard way. The lesson sticks. Permanently. His unconventional approach has brought calm to streets that once ran with blood. Frank's superiors can't argue with results, even if they don't understand his tactics. But Frank's brand of order comes with a price that grows heavier each day.
