“simmering away day after day—just simmering, though. Things hadn’t come to a boil since the ’67 riots. And for that, whether it pleased all the citizens of Detroit or not, they had the mayor to thank. Then, as I took a moment to light one of the cigars, I happened to remember something—or rather, someone. It struck me that I knew an associate of the mayor’s from a long time back, one who knew him when old Ismail Carter chain-smoked short, slender stogies just like these. In the old days, he’d emptied many a City Council meeting”
William J. Coughlin, The Judgment

“We are all mental cases at some time or another. You are, I am, everybody. It's usually a matter of frequency, severity, and timing.”
William J. Coughlin, Shadow of a Doubt

“Kathleen realized he was doing it”
William J. Coughlin, Her Honor
