About the Book
"Chicago real-estate billionaire Elliott Kantor was a creature of habit. His trainer came to the house three mornings every week for a five thirty workout. By six thirty, Kantor was in the car, and his driver raced him into the city to his bar-ber where he'd get a shave and trim every morning, then head over to his offices on Wacker where he had two young assistants who tended to his every whim and demand. He always ate breakfast at his desk, then spent all day in and out of meetings, growing his financial empire. There were few surprises in Kantor's world--until he died in his sleep at seventy-seven, leaving behind a vast fortune, a grieving wife and son Simon, and five grandchildren. But Simon Kantor has suspicions about his father's death and enlists Ashe Cayne to investigate. The probing PI learns Elliott participated in plenty of after-hours "activities," including a sex trafficking ring. But that's only the beginning of the evil the investigator discovers as he dives deeper into Elliott Kantor's hidden world...a journey into darkness that may lead to the end for the intrepid Mr. Cayne."--Book Synopsis
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.
