Synopsis
The Man Who Liked To Look at Himself is a crime novel by the American writer K.C. Constantine set in 1970s Rocksburg, a fictional, blue-collar, Rustbelt town in Western Pennsylvania (modeled on the author's hometown of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, adjacent to Pittsburgh).
Mario Balzic is the protagonist, an atypical detective for the genre, a Serbo-Italian American cop, middle-aged, unpretentious, a family man who asks questions and uses more sense than force.
As the novel opens, Balzic and Lt. Harry Minyon of the state police are hunting pheasant at the Rocksburg Rod and Gun Club when, after Minyon's dog bites Balzic, the dog uncovers a piece of human bone that shows signs of having been hacked apart.
It is the second book in the 17-volume Rocksburg series.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st British ed. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, (£9.95 intact), with protective mylar cover. Mario Balzic title. Afterword by Constantine. This is the second book in the Mario Balzic series of books that is set in Rocksburg. Body parts are found on farms which are leased as hunting lands by a local hunting club. It's not long before Balzic has figured out the identity of the victim, but pinning the murder on the killer is another matter. As the investigation progresses, Balzic's methodical approach and keen investigative skills come to the fore. He meticulously gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and reconstructs the crime scene, all while navigating the complex social dynamics of the local community. The case takes unexpected turns, challenging Balzic to dig deeper into the undercurrents of human behavior and motive. Throughout, Constantine's narrative remains compelling, enriched by his nuanced portrayal of characters and settings, which adds authenticity and depth to the story. Book. Seller Inventory # 004707
