Billionaire Elliott Kantor, who ruled over a mammoth real estate portfolio in Chicago, was a creature of habit. His trainer came to his house three mornings every week for a five-thirty workout. By six-thirty he was in the car and his driver drove him down into the city where he'd get a shave and trim from his barber every morning, then head over to his offices on Wacker. He always ate breakfast at his desk, had two young assistants who tended to his every whim and demand, then spent all day in and out of meetings growing a business that had already made him one of the wealthiest men in the country.

There were few surprises in his world. Or so everyone thought, until Kantor died in his sleep at age 77, leaving behind a vast fortune and grieving wife, son, and five grandchildren.

When Simon Kantor enlists Ashe Cayne to explore his father's death, the probing private investigator learns there was plenty of "activities" Elliott participated in after hours, including a sex traffic ring. And as Ashe and readers will discover this is only the beginning, and as our hero dives deeper and deeper into Elliott's hidden world, this may be the end for the intrepid Mr. Cayne.

      The uninspired fourth installment in Smith’s Ash Cayne series (after The Unspoken) finds the Chicago PI unearthing a sex trafficking ring while he investigates the death of a billionaire real estate mogul. When 77-year-old Elliott Kantor is found dead in his loft, tied up and wearing women’s underwear, the consensus among medical authorities is heart failure, but Kantor’s son, Simon, smells foul play, and he hires Cayne to look into it. Simon’s suspicions appear justified when Chicago bishop Keegan Thompson is found dead in a similarly unflattering position a few days later. Working with his Chicago PD connections, Cayne burrows deep into the activities of Illinois’s elite, learning that both Kantor and Thompson had ties to a vast prostitution operation. When a young woman dies in an apparent suicide on Chicago’s Northerly Island, Cayne knows he’s found a smoking gun, but he struggles to fit the case’s pieces together. Unfortunately, Cayne has transformed from a rough-hewn former police detective with a social conscience into a Porsche-driving, fine wine–sipping hedonist, and the shift has bled the series of immediacy and stakes. Despite solid pacing, little about this stands out.
