Groups and Narcotics Task Forces for the Illinois Criminal Justice
Authority. Ken Dye is the author of Shadow
of the Arch and Beyond the Shadow of the Arch.
According
to the book description of Beyond the Shadow of the Arch, “Detectives
Sloan and Falimoso are at it again. Transferred to work the homicide beat by
the Chief of Detectives, the two clear some of the area's most difficult murder
cases. They encounter an old and "Street Wise" informant who takes
the Detectives into the heart of a conspiracy to topple one of America's most
recognizable landmarks...The Gateway Arch. The investigation propels the two
Detectives into the secret and shrouded world of International intrigue and
treachery.”
