From Booklist
It's Joe Keough's first day as a St. Louis detective. His years in Brooklyn on the NYPD ended badly when he was forced to resign; Joe just wants the chance to be a detective again. The opportunity presents itself when three-year-old Brady Sanders wanders into the precinct house, his pajama footies soaked in blood. When Joe learns where the child lives, he finds a blood-spattered crime scene but no parents. He also investigates a series of other cases involving children; he suspects a relationship between all these incidents but can't find the thread to connect them. Meanwhile, he must negotiate his way through unfamiliar department politics and overcome resentment among his new peers toward the "big time New York detective." The second Keough case is stylishly written and carefully plotted, and it builds to a dramatic, exciting conclusion. Randisi also writes successful series featuring Miles Jacoby and Nick Delvecchio, but Keough--analytical, intelligent, and emotionally vulnerable--could easily become the author's most enduring, endearing character.

Book Description
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 Keoughs new life, four-year-old Brady Sanders walked into his St. Louis police station, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints. "Each of Randisis novels is better than its entertaining predecessor."-BOOKLIST
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 wasnt 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. "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."
