New York: The Mysterious Press, 1990. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [6], 167, [3] pages. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads. To Stan Sherman, Best wished K.C. Constantine. This Mario Balzic novel. Rocksburg Police Chief Mario Balzic must probe a tangle of reluctant witnesses, local mob figures, and a not-so-holy minister when a brutal murder occurs in the parking lot of a controversial pornography shop. Carl Constantine Kosak (1934 – March 23, 2023), better known by the pen name K. C. Constantine, was an American mystery author. He was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, and served in the Marines in the early 1950s. He was an alumnus of Westminster College. Kosak turned to writing full-time in 1993. His most famous creation is Mario Balzic, police chief in fictional Rocksburg, Pennsylvania. Rocksburg is a by-product of Kosak's hometown McKees Rocks, as well as the nearby cities Greensburg and Johnstown. Kosak is much more interested in the people in his novels than the actual mystery, and his later novels become ever more philosophical. In 1989 Constantine was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel for the Mario Balzic novel Joey's Case. In 1999 Booklist ranked Blood Mud among the year's best crime novels. In May 2011, Kosak appeared in person for the first time at the 16th annual Festival of Mystery held at the Greek Orthodox Church in Oakmont, signing his books and giving a live interview. Kosak died on March 23, 2023, at the age of 88. Mysterious Press announced they would be publishing a final novel—more than twenty years after his last publication—entitled Another Day's Pain. More

Corcoran is friends with Jimmy Buffett and shot photographs for seven of Buffett's album covers, as well as cowrote the hits "Fins" and "Cuban Crime of Passion". Derived from a Kirkus review: Alex Rutledge, Key West’s hunkiest freelance photographer, is looking longingly for a safe harbor. Just south of Cuba lies the Grand Cayman, and he thinks of his seven-day shoot there as healing for both a shattered exchequer and a battered psyche. Obstacles keep looming. First, there’s the call of friendship. Alex’s buddy, Sam Wheeler, faces a trip to Broward County to identify a body that might be his missing sister, and Alex can’t let him go alone. Next, there’s a proliferation of corpses, most of which seem connected to each other and, dismayingly, to him—like Naomi Douglas, the older woman beloved by Alex for insisting he was more talented than even he believed. She died in her sleep, they tell him, but he can’t help remembering how very robust she’d seemed only days earlier. There are problems with live bodies too, like the opulent Teresa Barga. With haste, she appears on the point of vacating the Rutledge bed after a mere flash of passion. When Alex, a part-time crime photographer, is tapped to take pictures of a crime scene, he goes reluctantly, knowing that once he gets sucked into sleuthing, he can kiss off the Caymans. The Key West setting is as always a plus. More

She is known for her best-selling novels featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, of which the first was inspired by a series of sensational murders in Richmond, Virginia, where most of the stories are set. The plots are notable for their emphasis on forensic science, which has influenced later TV treatments of police work. Cornwell has also initiated new research into the Jack the Ripper killings, incriminating the popular British artist Walter Sickert. Cornwell's fictional chief medical examiner, Kay Scarpetta, is now an object of suspicion--and criminal investigation. When a formidable prosecutor is brought into the case, Scarpetta must struggle to make what she knows to be the truth prevail against mounting and unnerving evidence to the contrary. More

Homer Stille Cummings (April 30, 1870 – September 10, 1956) was a U.S. lawyer and political figure who was United States Attorney General from 1933 to 1939. He also was elected mayor of Stamford, Connecticut, three times before founding the legal firm of Cummings & Lockwood in 1909. He later served as chairman of Democratic National Committee between 1919 and 1920. Cummings reentered politics. In 1932, he helped persuade 24 senators and numerous congressmen to announce their support for Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the Chicago convention, he planned strategy, operated as floor manager, and delivered a resounding seconding speech. Following the election, Roosevelt chose Cummings as governor-general of the Philippines. Two days before the inauguration, Thomas J. Walsh, who had been designated attorney general, died. Upon taking office on March 4, 1933, Roosevelt named Cummings to lead the Justice Department. Cummings served almost six years as attorney general. Cummings transformed the Department of Justice by establishing uniform rules of practice and procedure in federal courts. He secured the passage of twelve laws that buttressed the "Lindbergh Law" on kidnapping, made bank robbery a federal crime and cracked down on interstate transportation of stolen property. More
