His job is to see that the Districts volatile mixture of sex, alcohol, and gambling doesnt boil over but instead rolls along at a continuous simmer. Once a member of the citys regular police force, he now works for the Districts vice lord, Tom Anderson, patrolling his patrons honky-tonks and saloons and whorehousesboth the high-priced bordellos and the coffinlike cribs where the girls work with only a cot and a washbasin. When Adele, a beautiful singer at the Tuxedo dance hall, draws Francis into a contentious rivalry for her affection, a fatal shootout is the inevitable conclusion, sending the District into a scalding eruption and revealing the central characters for what they are. Filled with the rich atmosphere of Americas most colorful city, Redemption is the powerfully told tale of a mans efforts to restore the integrity of his soul.
