ⓘ About Ian K. Smith

Ian attended and graduated from Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He is a licensed medical doctor and even served on the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition in 2010 under President Barack Obama. Cayne is sprung into action when wealthy parents hire him to find their daughter, Tinsley Gerrigan, who has gone missing. The young woman has her secrets and Cayne goes about finding them. His investigation leads to many things that her family has no clue about and he begins to fear that she will never be found alive. When Tinsley’s boyfriend is found dead, Cayne’s worries increase. While many see another black man murdered on the streets of Chicago, Ashe sees more.
