Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
"A winner! A multilayered, craftily plotted journey into the dark side." —Booklist
Joe Keough, St. Louis's top homicide cop, knows what it's like to stare into the face of death, to sift through the handiwork of killers. And now he'll have to do it again. A body has been found near the famous St. Louis Arch, its blood staining the monument a deep crimson. Keough hopes this will prove to be just a routine murder—but in his heart he knows it's not.
The body belongs to a political aide. He'd been running for office before someone beat him to death. But why was he dragged to such a prominent place, and why did the killer go out of his way to taunt the police with information? What sort of twisted message was he trying to leave? Keough will have other chances to study this killer's work—there will be more bodies and more fear. The number of corpses will continue to grow as Keough races to find the brutal butcher with large hands . .. and a dark talent for his work.
