Shadow of the Arch is Ken Dye’s first work of fiction. Ken retired after a lengthy career in law enforcement and corporate security. While employed by a major metropolitan police department he was assigned to street patrol, tactical operations, narcotics, homicide and as the Intelligence Analyst.

The inspiration for Shadow of the Arch is the period Ken considers the highlight of his career, five years serving as an undercover narcotics Detective. Ken and his partner were honored with the Missouri police Officers of the year award for 1980 for intense undercover work that successfully prevented the bombing of a bank by known drug dealers.

Ken transitioned his police experience to corporate security for many years. He ended his career as the administrator for state wide Metropolitan Enforcement Groups and Narcotics Task Forces for the Illinois Criminal Justice Authority.

Ken lives with his wife in the Tampa Bay area and keeps busy with volunteer activities and enjoys the very best ”job” of his life, Grandpa.
