Sloan's client is Detroit's deputy police chief, who is charged with stealing $1 million from a secret slush fund to pay off drug informants. Charlie's girlfriend, police detective Sue Gillis, is pressing Charlie to commit to a new stage in their relationship, but they find themselves on opposite sides of the fence in the hunt for a serial killer who suffocates young children and lays them out like angels in the snow, encased in plastic sheeting. And someone in the mayor's office has bugged Charlie's office. In Charlie, Coughlin presents a credible hero who faces interesting and difficult challenges. Coughlin, a former defense attorney and a judge in Detroit for 20 years, published 16 novels before his death in 1992, including Death Penalty (HarperCollins, 1992). Enjoyable formula fiction; recommended. David Keymer, California State Univ., Stanislaus. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. """"From Kirkus Reviews: Satisfying, if meandering, Detroit-area legal procedural continues the adventures of Charley Sloan, in a second posthumous thriller from Coughlin (Heart of Justice, 1995). If Coughlin, a former Detroit defense lawyer and judge who died on the cusp of fame in 1993, becomes the V.C. Andrews of lawyer novels, the genre would only benefit from more tales about Sloan, a thrice-married, worldly-wise, recovering alcoholic who, as he ages, takes time to indulge his conscience, do the right thing- -and occasionally get paid for it. This time, Sloan is stretched between the demands of a high-profile police corruption case involving $1 million stolen from the police informants' fund and the hunt for a serial murderer (of children) whose depredations put a severe emotional stress on Sloan's relationship with his girlfriend, Sex Crimes Detective Sue Gillis. Both plot threads suffer from gratuitous sensationalism: It's almost a given that the corruption scandal will threaten to drag down Detroit's mayor, and the serial murderer's identity is telegraphed from the start. Also, a few too many characters scramble about a landscape stretching from Detroit's dark inner city to the slush-filled exurbs where Coughlin attends AA meetings. But Sloan's dignified exploration of big-city politics and small-town evil, as well as his troubled management of the minutiae of his profession, leads to an unexpected insight: that depravity springs, more often than not, from distortions of human kindness. When not poking these burdensome plots forward, Coughlin skillfully portrays his good guys, such as saintly Father Chuck, and bad guys, including the soulless Deputy Police Chief Mark, as tragic effigies cut from the same broad, colorful cloth. Even when they're discomfiting, Coughlin's minor characters shine with a ruddy glow. Overplotted, with finely wrought characterizations and a practiced novelist's respect for the way in which unanticipated tragedy can bring on moments of quiet insight.

SYNOPSIS: Brian Mulroney, watch out!/prenez garde! It's not only John Turner and Ed Broadbent who are after your job! Here are sixty more potential candidates. They were only asked to write what they would do if they were prime minister, but some have already assumed the mantle of office. "My government . . . " they write. "My residence at 24 Sussex Drive" (which, of course, will be tastefully redecorated at public expense). All of us have some beef about what's wrong and some ideas about what we would do to set things right, but in our wildest dreams we wouldn't have thought of some of the solutions offered in this collection. There's everything here, from challenging experimental policies to exciting and practical suggestions, which sound so sensible that one wonders why they have never been tried. And there's scarcely an aspect of Canadian concern that isn't analysed, dissected, and reformed. Free trade, bilingualism, income tax, unemployment, native rights, the Senate, day care, the nuclear threat . . . you name it. Of course, all the would-be PMs don't always agree on the answers. There's a wide range of viewpoint between the opening essay by Doris Anderson and the last one by Peter Worthington. Some of the potential PMs offer thoughtfully devised programs to solve our economic woes. Others are more interested in cultural problems. Some would increase the CBC's budget, while one would curb the CBC, taking it out of news and commentary (since a government-supported network shouldn't be into that type of thing). Then there's the PM who would dock the pay of politicians and senior civil servants by the same percentage as the rise in inflation. There's certainly no lack of ideas - practical, visionary, vengeful, hopeful, humorous. All in all, this is a fascinating and delightful book, entertaining yet serious, with searing political criticism underlying even the most light-hearted of the essays. It contains so many excellent suggestions that it should, perhaps, be required reading for all bureaucrats, cabinet ministers, and incumbents. Meanwhile, it offers much stimulating and thought-provoking reading for all who care about Canada's future and who want Canada to be well on track as it moves towards the next century.. Hard Cover.
