Beyond Midnight: An Ashe Cayne Novel, Book 5—A Gripping Chicago Mystery of Political Corruption, Deception, and Murder (An Ashe Cayne Mystery)

In the fifth Ashe Cayne novel, Chicago private investigator Ashe Cayne becomes entangled in the city's political underworld. The death of immigrant Juaquin Escobar has been ruled an accidental drowning in Lake Michigan, but his nephew Ivan Ramirez is skeptical—Juaquin never drank and never swam. When the Chicago Police Department closes the case, Ivan seeks help from Ashe Cayne, referred by their mutual acquaintance Penny Packer. Ashe agrees to investigate pro bono and quickly uncovers inconsistencies. He learns that Juaquin was last seen entering a white van belonging to a heating and cooling company before his disappearance. As Ashe retraces Juaquin's final steps, he discovers a network of secrets and lies connected to the case—one that some would kill to keep hidden.
