Ashe Cayne, a larger-than-life character who is extremely likeable, is not your average private investigator, he is a well-educated former Chicago PD detective with a golf addiction.
Cayne has been employed by the family of a prominent Chicago area education board president with political ties, who committed suicide almost two years ago. The family doesn’t believe the police report and are convinced someone murdered him. Cayne uses all available resources, investigates all angles, and doesn’t stop searching for the truth.
Cayne’s tactics are very fluid as he likes to go with the flow and strike while the iron is hot. I love his demeanor as he isn’t a perfect character, but he has brilliant insight while still evaluating his shortfalls.
Smith nails the storyline, and the team he assembles around Cayne are top-notch characters. He does a phenomenal job ensuring that the ending isn’t all laid out for everyone to see and had me wowed all the way through. Ashe Cayne is part Evan Smoak (Gregg Hurwitz) and part John Corey (Nelson DeMille) all while being dangerous, witty, and charming...never underestimate him.
