About The Book
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.

Raves and Reviews
"K.C. Constantine is one of the most talked about mystery writers on the American scene. Constantine has a smooth style, and his plots are loaded with unexpected twists and turns."
– Boston Globe
"Constantine writes a terrific mystery."
– Providence Journal
"A compelling story that gradually engulfs the reader [and] a fitting tribute to a great and ferocious talent who was unjustly ignored."
– Ken Bruen, Edgar award-winning author of the Jack Taylor series
"Deeply moving . . . Constantine ends the long-running series on a high note, striking an elegiac tone that never tilts into triteness. Here's hoping this graceful final act will spark new interest in an unsung master of crime fiction."
– Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
"A brilliantly idiosyncratic police procedural [and] a surprisingly appropriate and moving finale . . . to one of the most impressive oeuvres in modern American fiction."
