Content descriptions
Summary, etc.: | Investigating the suspicious shooting of an unarmed Black man by a white cop to boost her ratings, Morgan Shaw, a hugely popular evening news anchor, creates powerful enemies and calls on P.I. Ashe Cayne to expose those behind the murder of a seemingly innocent man. 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. |
