Quotes

“[Amir] Abdullah's narration is perfectly matched to this gritty mystery. His characterizations are particularly strong as he uses authentic-sounding accents to differentiate the wide cast of characters ranging from Russian gangsters to social elites. He creates a likable, dogged detective in Ashe, and his spot-on timing keeps the plot moving.” —AudioFile Magazine“Smith’s love of Chicago is palpable in his rich depictions of its diversity, vitality, and unique pockets…A brisk and twisty whodunit with a motley cast that includes the city of big shoulders.” —Kirkus Reviews“Smith’s entertaining sequel to 2020’s The Unspoken…This is smart, smooth escapism. Readers will hope Cayne will be back soon.” —Publishers Weekly
