“Chicago PI Ashe Cayne is the perfect hero for our times.”—Harlan Coben

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ian K. Smith brings back former Chicago detective turned private eye Ashe Cayne in this eagerly anticipated mystery in which the investigator finds himself in a race against the clock to protect a high-profile Chicago news anchor and solve the racially charged murder of a Black teen by a white police officer.

Someone wants Morgan Shaw dead—or so the beautiful, brilliant, and hugely popular evening news anchor of top-rated Chicago TV station WLTV believes. Fearing for her safety, she turns to P. I. Ashe Cayne for protection. Though he sympathizes, Ashe turns her down—he’s not a bodyguard. But when Morgan’s car tires are slashed and she’s threatened again, Ashe agrees to help her.

Her mysterious assailant isn’t the only threat worrying Morgan. She’s nervous about the upcoming “sweeps”—the all-important overnight ratings period—which will determine Chicago’s highest-rated television newscast and the city’s number-one anchor. Morgan has long been Chicago’s news queen. Now, though her crown is in jeopardy. She refuses to lose to her crosstown rival, and will risk everything to stay on top—including an audacious investigation into the suspicious shooting of an unarmed African American man by a white cop. The explosive case and her discoveries boost her ratings—and create powerful enemies eager to protect their secrets.

To save his client and find the truth, Ashe must wade through the tangled layers of competitive local news and the deceptive schemes of its power players, and uncover the identities of those behind the murder of a seemingly innocent man.

Loved it

Great storyline. My hunch proved right at the end. Enjoyed every moment of this book.

Well constructed story that leaves you wanting more

Ian K Smith is a master storyteller. Having lived in Chicago, I love the references to the area but I really love his stories that continually leave me coming back for more!

AMAZING, as usual!

Another winner in this Ashe Cayne series. Great setup for the next book. I can't wait! The narrator does a great job at making each character unique. Dr. Ian is a brilliant storyteller.

Amazing mystery

This is my 3rd Ian K. Smith novel, the first series of mystery novels I’ve ever read. I have become a huge fan of Ashe Cain, the main character. This novel weaves plots and characters together like none other. I can hardly wait for the next one.

Saw This One Coming A Mile Out

Have to say that this "mystery" seemed pretty obvious from the beginning and that detracts significantly from the supposed detective prowess of Mister Ashe Cayne. Still a great slate of characters and love seeing the hometown locations on display, but the "who" as well as the "how" was easily seen. Further, unless Ashe's father has already gifted him a small fortune, the amount of time (and money) he spends not working in various ways does seem excessive. Small business owners work hard to make it, and once they do, they sweat losing that position of success. Maybe Ashe needs a rival detective to make him sweat a bit more!

Compelling! From one angle at least.

Really great characters and story, but I got ahead of the main mystery with about 20 chapters to go. Still a great listen though.

Love the narrator

Great narrator. Good story. I like this series. Interested to read the other novel. Great.

So Suspenseful

I absolutely loved the storyline & how everything came together. This series is so intriguing! Highly recommend

the narrator was TERRIBLE!!

Predictable, shallow, the narrator is awlful. Skip this one. No, no, no, no, no,
