Praise forEast of the Arch "[Randisi] delivers an action-packed police procedural that is balanced by its many effective subplots.East of the Archis enhanced by a shocker of an ending, reminding us that sometimes politics trumps crime detection. . . . Once again, the St. Louis-based author has used his home as a unique setting for a fascinating tale." --Florida Sun-Sentinel "Robert J. Randisi, who has authored several series, keeps the plot moving, the clues intriguing, and the action suspenseful. And Joe Keough is complex and interesting enough to sustain the reader's curiosity throughout.East of the Archis a deft piece of crime fiction." --Mystery Scene "Action-packed. . . . Keough is no clicheacute; cop, but an engaging character with a welcome streak of compassion. . . . Randisi's well-paced procedural keeps the reader asking what happens next right up to the logical and effective finale." --Publishers Weekly "Randisi is a masterful writer andEast of the Archis a finely tuned, high octane, wheel-burning dragster. A thrilling ride down the straightaway of suspense. With the baddest bad guy I've seen in ages and the toughest, most down-to-earth police detective who takes no guff and wastes no time. This is a fast furious ride, but Randisi is firmly in control every step of the way." --James W. Hall, author ofBlackwater Sound "Robert J. Randisi writes so effortlessly---in a fast, lean style, with dialogue so real you might well be eavesdropping---it's easy to overlook his sharp characterization and breakneck narrative drive. It will be a crime if Joe Keough does not return for more Arch adventures." --Max Allan Collins, author ofRoad to Perdition "Robert Randisi has long been held as a master of the genre, andEast of the Archis just one more reason why. The book grips, it absorbs, it stirs. Randisi knows the secret; it's not so much about how cops work on cases but how cases work on cops. That's why he's one of the best." ---Michael Connelly, author ofCity of BonesRandisi, Robert J. is the author of 'Arch Angels A Joe Keough Mystery', published 2004 under ISBN 9780312308780 and ISBN 0312308787.
