Book excerpt: 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

Book excerpt: Keough has been at his job in the Mayor's office for a year and he's not happy. He's been involved in more political functions and fund raisers than investigations. But when bodies of pregnant women begin to pile up on the Illinois side of the Mississippi, the Mayor of East St. Louis asks for help. Now out on loan, Keough heads up the search for a serial killer with only a Mark Twain quoting sidekick and young female clerk as his "task force."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Headston is a private detective who, early in his career, was very successful, running a 12-man operation called THE HEADSTONE DETECTIVE AGENCY, mainly because the guy who painted the name on the door added the “e” at the end without realizing it was wrong. As the book opens, however, Headston is now 50, and the agency is down to just him. In his past he had run-ins with not only the law, but with the New York State Agency who had licensed him. As a result he spent some time in jail, and had his license revoked. Now he has it back, and is trying to get started again. His first case is a missing persons case, a wealthy woman whose husband just seems to have vanished from his Wall Street stockbroker job. Headston finds the man, who is now living under very odd circumstances, but the missing persons case quickly turns to murder. Aided by a tattooed young lady who decides she should work for him, Headston decides to work on the murder case, while attempting to avoid running afoul of the law and having his licensed revoked again—and possibly for good, this time.
