Synopsis

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.

About K.C. Constantine

K. C. Constantine chronicled the fictional city of Rocksburg for fifty years, delighting readers with tales of Mario Balzic and the hapless Rocksburg Police Department. Another Day's Pain, completed shortly before the author's death, is the final chapter in that saga.

Goodreads review by Angie on July 21, 2024

I can’t remember how this book ended up on my “to read” list, no doubt an impulsive choice based on an article of best mysteries of 2024 or “most looked forward to” type of articles.

Grateful for one last chance to visit K.C. Constantine's Rocksburg, Pennsylvania. It's a bittersweet farewell centering and surfacing pain for Detective Ruggiero "Rugs" Carlucci and the other characters. Somehow though, pushing through and past the waves of pain shows signs of resilience and a glimm......more

Goodreads review by Katherine on March 15, 2024

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of this novel. Oh my gosh. What did I just read? A manic, furious slice of small-town rust belt Americana in the present moment. A prodigious talent from a writer that I had never heard of. The story is told from the point of view of a police officer on the cusp of r......more

Jay-zus. Buckle up for this one. I don't know where I first saw a blurb about this book. I thought it must have been Crime Reads, but I can't find it there. Here's what I remember knowing, or what I thought I knew: K.C. Constantine (never heard of him) published a long-running series of cop procedural......more

Goodreads review by Rome on July 05, 2024

This novel is from a mystery author I've admired and liked for many years, but has somehow dropped out of my rotation. So now the former hero of the series is a bit part and I'm introduced to a former minor character as the hero. I can't say I liked the topic(s) of this novel, which were aging, diff......more
