Bestselling Author of Blood on the Arch

"Robert Randisi has long been held as a master and East of the Arch is just one more reason why." —Michael Connelly, Author of Chasing the Dime

Joe Keough was not happy. His new job as "Top Cop" for the mayor of St. Louis had him involved in more political functions than investigations. But all that changed when the bodies of pregnant women began to be discovered on the Illinois side of the Mississippi. Suddenly Keough found himself on loan to East St. Louis . . . and on the trail of a serial killer more grotesque than anything he'd seen before.

When the offer to join a special statewide serial killer squad comes his way, Keough has to make a decision that could change his personal and professional life forever. But through it all he continues to work frantically, battling the clock to find the perpetrator of these increasingly twisted crimes before another young woman and her unborn baby are killed.

"Bloodcurdling. Keeps the reader asking what happens next right up to the logical and effective finale." —Publishers Weekly

"Exceptionally entertaining and riveting." —Booklist

"Randisi is a masterful writer and East of the Arch is a finely tuned, high-octane, wheel-burning dragster. A thrilling ride down the straightaway of suspense." —James W. Hall, Author of Blackwater Sound
