Howard Fairweather serves as Chicago's City Police Commissioner, a figure whose authority reaches into the department's dealings with Murphy and her team. He uses them as scapegoats, letting institutional pressure fall on those beneath him. Beyond his office and this hard-edged exercise of power, the novel offers little about his private life or personal history.
Description
The novel identifies Fairweather as the City Police Commissioner but gives no concrete details of his appearance. His age, build, complexion, hair, eyes, and clothing are unspecified; avoid assigning him a particular look beyond the formal presence suggested by his office.
