Blood Mud by K. C. ConstantineSynopsisLike the city he's served loyally for years, Mario Balzic (retired) isn't about to slip in to the twilight unnoticed. He's traded in his uniform for the shirt and tie of a private cop. But even in white-collar land, crime is prevalent. There's been a burglary at the local gun shop; a corrupt married politico is cheating with a stripper; a police chief a couple of towns over is hungry for power, a deli owner who mixes racketeering with the cold cuts; and a gangster's hapless nephew framed for selling pore and drugs. Balzic hasn't stepped into a cushy retirement gig - not by a long shot!

Faded ex-chief of police in a small town takes up as insurance investigator. Battling personal health issues and ridicule from his ex-colleagues, he stumbles upon a plot with local don, ambitious police chief and a clueless councilman as central characters. The narrative is not that engaging in the beginning but picks up after midpoint. At times funny, story ends sadly.
