Mario Balzic is a police chief so close to his people that nothing moves in the town of Rocksburg, PA, without his knowing how and why.
In this his fifth case, Balzic finds himself caught up in both union contract negotiations and a web of lies and disappearances that begins when Jimmy Romanelli sells the bartender at Muscotti's Bar several baskets of tomatoes, and ends amid multiple deaths and disappearances. In the aftermath, Balzic is forced to come to terms with his past, his drinking, and his late father's best friend.

Constantine's Mario Balzic is one of those police chiefs so close to his people that nothing moves or even sits still in his town without his knowing how and why. His town is Rocksburg, a small coal mining town in western Pennsylvania where most of the coal has run out. In this, his fifth case, tomatoes curiously ripe out of season are the key. It begins at Muscotti's Bar, Balzic's refuge, when Jimmy Romanelli sells several baskets of tomatoes to Vinnie, Muscotti's barkeep; it ends some weeks later with three deaths and a drained, disgusted Balzic, unable to take any satisfaction in his solution of Romanelli's murder, the proximate cause of which is Jimmy's twisted passion for growing tomatoes. As in all the Balzic novels, the Chief is the center of consciousness. He's fiercely unpretentious, in absolute command, without an officious bone in his head or phrase in his mouth. And so fundamentally gentle and good at what he does that not even his Mozartian profanity succeeds in hiding his detective genius. If you've not met this Serbo-Italian, profoundly American cop, it's time you did. inventory #2178. Nº de ref. del artículo: z2178
