Description

K.C. Constantine returns with the long-awaited final chapter of his saga of the Rocksburg Police Department.

The police force of Rocksburg, Pennsylvania, doesn’t see a ton of action. With jobs and industry moving away from the small city outside Pittsburgh, Detective Ruggiero “Rugs” Carlucci’s greatest adversaries are his negligent vacation-prone fellow officers and an older divorcee who has a habit of dancing naked on her back porch when she stops taking her medication. Retirement is on the horizon for Rugs, and the Vietnam vet is counting the days until he can move on from the job.

But Rocksburg isn’t going to let Rugs drift off to retirement without a fight. Before he can neatly wrap up his career, Rugs will face a mad shooter, a vengeful city councilman, and, most perilously, his own mother.

With a supporting cast of characters painted through uproarious profanity and heart-wrenching confessions, Another Day’s Pain is a bold and darkly funny novel about crime and the damaged souls it leaves behind.

Featured Reviews

The authors last book is a fitting end to a career that has been largely overlooked but should not be. Intensly human, filled with heart-breaking compassion, the author has consistently dealt with the frailties and vageries of the human condition. His main character, Mario Balzic, barely shows up in this final book but his protege and son he never had, shines as the lead character. This story of the damage parents do to their children is told in great scenes replete with dialogue so true to life that the reader feels like an eavesdropper. This is a masterful end to a series that should be treasured. I loved this book at the same time that it caused me great pain and anguish.
