Milan Jacovich is in Lake County this time away from his turf in Cleveland Heights. Many characters revolve around a tiny, upscale Lake Erie Shores' election. While the book is a good read, the other Jacovich books read more quickly and are more intense, providing a more captivating read.

Milans A Refreshing Character
13 July 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first Milan Jacovich book of Les Roberts' that I've read and I was very happy that I gave it a try. Milan makes for an interesting protagonist. He's an ex-footballer; ex-policeman turned private investigator living in Cleveland, Ohio. While he's big and impressive in bearing, I wouldn't call him an overtly macho man, giving his character the extra bit of credence required in private investigator books, I believe.
In this particular case, Milan is asked, or more correctly, ordered by a mafia boss, to help a friend's wife in her mayoral election campaign. She is running for mayor in a small lakeside community. But Milan wonders what could possibly command the mafia's interest in a small, out of the way town. Like all stories involving election campaigns, whether big or small, political intrigue is the order of the day and the tactics can get dirty. Luckily, Milan has a cool head on his shoulders, and also the size to intimidate most opponents, ensuring there's rarely a dull moment when he's around.
I enjoyed this book, purely because the main protagonist is a very refreshing character and I'll be on the lookout for the other books in the series. Residents of Cleveland and surrounding areas would find an extra incentive to read the series because Roberts does go into quite a bit of detail when describing the city, while not exactly adding much to the story, I didn't feel as though it compromised it either.

Interesting read, different from the other Jacovich books

Another exciting Milan Jacovich detective novel by Les Roberts. Always keeping you on the edge. A story that I couldn't put down. With places familar in Cleveland, Ohio. Many plots, twists & suspense.
