Two in little over a week is almost too much for the police force to handle. The assigned detectives - Ben Dougherty, a former MP and Penns River native, and retired Pittsburgh cop Willie Grabek - find links to bind the two cases, but their investigation is complicated by the involvement of private investigator Daniel Rollison, a retired spy on a suspect's payroll who is really working for himself. \u003cbr\u003ePittsburgh mob boss Mike Mannarino also lives in Penns River and has more than a passing interest in the case. The two cops' savvy competes with the limitations of their small town's resources and the interference of Rollison and Mannarino in a story that shows identifying a killer and proving it are separate things. \u003cbr\u003ePraise for WORST ENEMIES . \u003cbr\u003eYou're going to be surprised and delighted.

Is it Daniel Hecker, bringing hope to a mill town after years of plant closings? Or is the town's salvation really an opening for Mike The Hook Mannarino's Pittsburgh mob to move part of their action up the river? Or could it be someone even worse? \u003cbr\u003eWhen the body of a drug dealer is dumped on the casino steps shortly before its grand opening, Detectives Ben Doc Dougherty and Willie Grabek have to survive their department's own inner turmoil and figure out not only who's behind the murder, but what it means to whoever is behind the operation itself. Between the cops, the mob, and the ex-spook in charge of casino security (Daniel Rollison, a man with more secrets than anyone will ever know), GRIND JOINT is a mesmerizing mix of betrayal, police action, small town politics, sudden violence and the lives of the people of a town just trying to look after itself. \u003cbr\u003ePraise for GRIND JOINT . \u003cbr\u003eKing has created vividly drawn characters, a plot the late Elmore Leonard would appreciate, and dialogue that hits all the right notes.

Penns River police don't have much to go on until Detective Ben Doc Dougherty interviews casino employees and learns of drug deals going down in and around the property. Leads show promise and fall apart with depressing frequency until the local prosecutor turns a minor charge into a statement that leads Doc and the rest of the police force to a surprising conclusion, though not before tragedy strikes one of their own.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, Pittsburgh mob boss Mike Mannarino faces increasing pressure from his bosses in New York, so much so he's thinking of reaching out to Chicago for protection.
