Bestselling Author of Alone with the Dead

"Randisi uses the shopping-center settings to fine dramatic effect, rendering them spooky stalking grounds." —Publishers Weekly

Joe Keough, a former New York City police detective, moved to St. Louis to get away from the bloodshed of the Big Apple and start fresh. But five minutes into Keough's new life, four-year-old Brady Sanders walked into his St. Louis police station, leaving behind a trail of bloody foot­prints.

That was only the beginning of a twisted trail of darkness and fear, from Brady's missing parents and their blood soaked house, to the kidnapping of beautiful mothers and their small children. Were these hideous acts a series of unrelated coincidences, or was there a serial killer on the loose, stalking and killing the citizens of St. Louis? It wasn't long before Keough was forced to realize that death in the Midwest is no different from death in New York. Terror is terror, no matter where you live.

"A skilled, uncompromising writer, Randisi knows which buttons to press—and how to press them." —John Lutz, Author of Single White Female

"Each of Randisi's novels is better than its entertaining predecessor." —Booklist

"Randisi successfully combines dry humor and suspense to come up with one heckuva read. This man knows how people talk and think and it shows. —Rave Reviews
