{"product_id":"9781842430026","title":"Grievance","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrumbling, empty buildings, a real-estate infrastructure sputtering out, next-to-no tax base for the town and its schools, a population thrown to the mercies of the welfare state... to many of Rocksburg's citizens, this was the bitter legacy of the mid-1980s. A brutal regimen of downsizing had shut down steel production and eliminated two-thirds of the factory's workforce - a policy enforced by steel magnate J. D. Lyons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf Lyons accomplished his business objectives, he has since paid the ultimate price. For J.D. Lyons has just been found in the trunk of his Jaguar, bent over a bag of golf clubs and sporting a small-calibre bullet wound at the base of his skull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe list of suspects is the size of the Rocksburg phone book. What begins as a singular homicide suddenly becomes a swath of murderous violence that touches the ranks of the local union hierarchy, threatens public order, and confounds all investigatory logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis won't be an easy case for Detective Ruggiero 'Rugs' Carlucci, and it's coming at a tough crossroad in his life. His always difficult mother has officially been deemed a threat to herself and others. And for the first time he finds himself falling in love. More than before, his mind is in a state of full-dress riot. Bringing order and justice to Rugs's world will test all his skill and resolve...even as he tries to part company with misery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the hearts and voices of one small fictional city, K. C. Constantine has created another tour de force - one that touches the American nerve at its most explosive, authentic and surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K C Constantine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47972723163285,"sku":"9781842430026","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9781842430026.png?v=1789020139","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781842430026","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
