This review is from: Joey's Case (Hardcover)
If you haven't stumbled across K.C. Constantine as yet, you are one lucky soul and you're in for a major treat: "Joey's Case" may be his best book. K.C. Constantine wrote a series, of which this is one, chronicling the doings of the Mario Balzic, chief of police of Rocksburg, PA, a declining industrial town in the Rust Belt. He is a long-suffering man of some intelligence and more intuition, thoroughly wedded to his work, but just as devoted to his wife Ruth, who understands him better than he understands himself at times--as in this story.Joey, a man of uncertain temper is dead--murdered. His elderly father is convinced that something was wrong with the case that failed to convict his son's klller--and that Chief Balzic is the man to put this right. The old man haunts Balzic everywhere for months, trailing him even to the hospital, where Balzic uncharacteristically loses his temper. "Now I'm getting somewhere," the elderly Castolucci says. And, indeed, just as the old man suspects, there are some loose ends to be dealt with, and as so often happens, all is not what it seems. Wonderful atmosphere, poignant picture of family lives, complex characters, great story--fabulous. Read this, then read: Upon Some Midnights Clear, Always a Body to Trade, The Man Who Liked Slow Tomatoes,..
