Saving Room for Dessert (Hardcover)

SAVING ROOM FOR DESSERT

William Rayford rose from mall security guard to candidate for detective sergeant in the Rocksburg PD in just six years. Yet his rise can't change the fact that he's the only black man in the department, he still hasn't been promoted, and he can't persuade his wife to leave her voodoo-believing mother and live with him. His colleague Robert "Booboo" Canoza is always the first cop through the door when it comes to breaking up a barroom brawl, but he can't cope with old ladies who lock themselves out of their cars. And their fellow patrolman James Reseta returned from Vietnam with a chestful of ribbons, only to learn that what helped him survive combat won't work on the job...or in daily life.

Now working the same watch, each man harbors his own private dread of their patrol in the Flats, a part of the city hard by the Conemaugh River, where parking spaces on narrow streets turn minor arguments into blood feuds and man's best friend transforms lifelong neighbors into worst enemies. And in one part of the block, called the United Nations on its good days and Jerusalem on its bad ones, two of these patrolmen will step into an outburst of violence that can kill careers—and cops—before their time. SAVING ROOM FOR DESSERT is K. C. Constantine and Rocksburg at their most earthy, original, and engaging.
