Book Description

Shock waves ride through the city of Cleveland when up-and-coming local television reporter Virginia Carville is found strangled to death in her home. Even more surprising is when Mary Soderberg, the station's top sales executive, implores P.I. Milan Jacovich-a former boyfriend whom Mary dumped for her current love, Steve Cirini-to clear Cirini as the chief murder suspect.Swallowing his pride, Jacovich goes behind the scenes to uncover all the scandal and intrigue of big-city television-and the dark secrets of an ambitious newscaster. Yet he's no closer to solving the murder until he comes across an unmarked computer disk with a curious code, and a lucky guess sends him in the right direction. But as Jacovich comes nearer to the truth, he comes closer to making the evening news-as a murder victim....

Milan is the Man.......2001-08-15

Mary Soderberg walks back into Milan Jacovich's life when she asks him to help out her boyfriend, the man she left him for, when he is the main suspect in the murder of a high profile television reporter. Milan finds that he still can't resist Mary's pleas and puts himself in what proves to be quite an awkward situation. Milan has to put professionalism ahead of his personal feelings when he agrees to take on the case because, although he hates the man who stole Mary away from him, he is, after all, taking his money to help try to prove his innocence.

As far as private investigator series go, the Milan Jacovich is proving to be a very strong and involving one. Milan is a continually developing character that is consistently interesting and likable. For fans of private investigator books, this is a very worthwhile series and this particular episode doesn't let it down.

Another solid entry in Milan Jacovich series.......2000-01-05

While Sue Grafton's "alphabet" series dominates 90s detective fiction, Les Roberts is giving her a run for her money with his Cleveland-based series of gumshoe adventures. Milan Jacovich is a humane, brooding investigator who resorts to his considerable size and strength only with reluctance; his observations on modern life are oddly hard to disagree with. Roberts plots adroitly, letting the mystery and its solution coalesce slowly and tantalizingly. He also makes Cleveland come alive in a most affectionate and specific way (in a way that Cincinnati does not in Jonathan Valin's Harry Stoner series). Recommended with all possible enthusiasm to fans of the genre.
