Book 7 of 19: Milan Jacovich Mysteries
Synopsis
Since Les Roberts first introduced him in Pepper Pike, the Cleveland private eye Milan Jacovich and his creator have gone on to win the hearts of readers and reviewers alike with Roberts's affectionate portrayal of his rough-around-the-edges midwestern home.
The brutal death of Virginia Carville, one of Cleveland's up-and-coming television reporters, shocks the city, and even ex-cop Milan is not immune. He had met the young woman on several occasions with his former lover, Mary Soderberg, the television station's top sales executive. Mary broke Milan's heart when she left, but now she's back to ask a favor. The police have as their chief suspect Steve Cirini, the station's sales manager and the man Mary left Milan for. Milan reluctantly agrees to take the job, and soon is up to his neck in big trouble.

Review
"Gritty, grim, humorous, sentimental-a perfect 10." --"Chicago Sun-Times
"Roberts, who writes some of today's best...P.I. stories, offers a pithy plot, world-weary but witty dialogue, and an appealing portrait of the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of often-maligned Cleveland." --"Booklist
"[An] excellent series." --"Cleveland Plain Dealer
Roberts is a wordsmith of high order, and Collision Bend is a terrific novel of the mean streets. -- Book Reviewer "Mysterious Mysteries"
Former television producer Roberts writes knowingly of the medium; newscaster sleeping with sales manager makes a timely metaphor for the ethics of broadcast journalism. Roberts affectionately weaves in the history and rich ethnic mix of Milan Jacovich's Cleveland turf. -- Book Reviewer "Publishers Weekly"
Another fine entry in an outstanding series, Robert's latest is sure to be a hit with readers and reviewers alike. -- Book Reviewer "Booklist"

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. #7 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series . . . Private investigator Milan Jacovich (it's pronounced MY-lan YOCK-ovich) goes behind the scenes to uncover scandal, ambition, and intrigue at one of Cleveland's top TV stations as he hunts down the stalker and murderer of a beautiful local television anchor. Milan has just moved his offices to an old building on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in an area called the Flats. There, he receives a surprise visit from a former love interest, Mary Soderberg, who left him for her influential boss, TV executive Steve Cirini. One of their newscasters, the beautiful Virginia Carville, has been murdered, and Cirini, who was having an affair with her, is the chief suspect. Mary wants Milan to bail her cheating boyfriend out of the jam--for old times' sake. Milan doesn't like Cirini at all, but takes the case even though he's unsure of the man's innocence. Or is the culprit the obsessive station-manager Nicky Scandalios, the longtime anchorwoman Vivian Truscott, or a survivor of child abuse named Violet Grba? For that matter, could it be Milan's old flame Mary Soderberg herself? Seller Inventory # CIN0312145705VG
