    A Vigilante PI, Ashe Cayne, Searches for the Missing Daughter of a Billionaire Real Estate Mogul!
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020*

Ashe Cayne was forced to retire early from the Chicago Police Department because he refused to partake in a coverup involving the shooting of an innocent, unarmed black man.  Now he is a PI who moonlights as a vigilante who tortures those he believes escaped justice.  He is also rich, loving to dine at expensive restaurants with gorgeous women.  Violet Gerrigan, the wife of a billionaire real estate mogul, hires Ashe to find her missing daughter, Tinsley.  Soon afterwards, Tinsley's black boyfriend from the wrong side of the tracks, Tariq "Chopper" McNair, is shot dead in an alley.  Ashe's missing person case turns into a dangerous crusade for justice.Ian K. Smith is the highly successful author of several best-selling diet books.  Now, in his spare time, he has turned to writing mystery novels of which "The Unspoken" is his debut.  I don't know if it was mere coincidence or perfect planning, but the publication of this novel couldn't have come at a more apropos time.  The Black Lives Matter Movement has become a part of our culture.  Smith's brain child is a black PI, Ashe Cayne, who refused to help conceal the murder of an innocent black man.  This entire backstory could have been ripped from today's headlines.  At first, I liked Ashe Cayne.  However, I found his brand of vigilante justice to be rather horrifying.Ashe has chosen a pedophile Catholic priest, Mark Stanton, to be the subject of his personally designed torture chamber.  I've stated in other book reviews that I'm tired of reading about pedophile Catholic priests.  The subject has become extremely trite.  In fact, I found numerous stereotypes in Smith's novel to be rather commonplace.  You have the gangsters and thugs of the South Side and the billionaire elite of the North Side.  However, I liked the Romeo and Juliet relationship portrayed by Chopper and Tinsley.  Chopper is a former thug who educates himself and Tinsley is the spoiled white princess who shuns rich society.  In my opinion, Tinsley is a hypocrite who detests high society but enjoys the privileged lifestyle that it affords her.  Likewise, Ashe desires to fight crime but has become a criminal himself.  He appears to revel in the suffering he inflicts on others and eases his guilty conscience by convincing himself they deserve it.There are a few plus notes that make "The Unspoken" worth reading.  First, Ashe has a crass, irreverent sense of humor.  It almost gets him in trouble with Ice, a gangster from the South Side who is Chopper's uncle.  Ice and his burly associates repeatedly call Ashe a wiseass.  Ashe reminds me very much of best-selling author David Housewright's fictional PI, Rushmore McKenzie of the Twin Cities.  Second, the mystery of Chopper's murder is a complex one that kept me in the dark until nearly the novel's end.  There were some clever red herrings that deceived me.  Third, the body count may be low but there is plenty of hand-to-hand combat.  Many thugs are injured thanks to Ashe's hired muscle, a Polish boxer named Dmitri "Mechanic" Kowalski.Despite its flaws, Ian K. Smith's "The Unspoken" has a lot of readers talking about it.  I believe this is due to its obvious connections to the Black Lives Matter Movement; the cruel, but highly creative, vigilante justice; its classic Romeo and Juliet love affair; and the fact that this novel is a perfect example of Chicago noir.  You have the handsome PI or gumshoe; the evil gangsters; the rich, attractive society dames; and the gruesome, heart-wrenching murder.  This novel also contains a tremendous amount of adultery.  Married friends and associates are sleeping with each other.  Sometimes I felt as though I was watching an afternoon soap opera.  Will I read the sequel, "Wolf's Point," which is tentatively scheduled to be published in October of 2021?  Probably.  I have a morbid curiosity to learn who will become the next victim of Ashe's vigilante justice.

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023*

Ashe is one of the good guys. He’s on the side of right and just. He can;t be bought and he has no “quit” in him.  This story unwound at the right pace. The dialogue is superb.  Characters are fully developed. Altogether an entertaining read.
