About the Book

"Packed with unusual heroes, villains, and political twists and turns ... a mystery which defies predictability." -- Midwest Book Review #5 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series ... Every Clevelander understands the lake effect, a weather condition that brings plenty of snow, especially in November when election time rolls around. Milan Jacovich (it's pronounced MY-lan YOCK-ovich), the genial Cleveland private eye, has never been a political animal. But he owes a favor to mobster Victor Gaimari, and Milan always pays his debts. So he agrees to play watchdog over a mayoral election in suburban Lake Erie Shores in which dowdy housewife Barbara Corns is challenging incumbent Gayton True. Everything seems calm on the surface--until True's wife, Princess, is run down in the street just outside downtown Cleveland's Tower City. It becomes obvious that there is more at stake than the mayor's chair in a quiet suburban city hall. And when he discovers that the True campaign has employed his old nemesis, disgraced ex-cop Al Drago, who carries a grudge a mile wide, Milan knows he's in for a lot rougher time of it than simply poll-watching. "A real treat ... If you've somehow missed this series, definitely give it a try . . . If you're already a fan, this book will delight you even further." -- Mystery News "Every Jacovich adventure is better than the last, and this one is no exception. An outstanding entry in an outstanding series, and a must for every mystery collection. (Starred review)" -- Booklist "The story is nicely fleshed out with characters so vivid you could probably pick them out on the Cleveland streets: Roberts describes them so well, even an out-of-towner knows where he stands." -- Publishers Weekly

Review :
A real treat . . . If you've somehow missed this series, definitely give it a try . . . If you're already a fan, this book will delight you even further.-- "Mystery News" (1/1/1994 12:00:00 AM) Every Jacovich adventure is better than the last, and this one is no exception. An outstanding entry in an outstanding series, and a must for every mystery collection. (Starred review)-- "Booklist" (1/1/1994 12:00:00 AM) Packed with unusual heroes, villains, and political twists and turns . . . a mystery which defies predictability.-- "Midwest Book Review" (1/1/1994 12:00:00 AM) The story is nicely fleshed out with characters so vivid you could probably pick them out on the Cleveland streets: Roberts describes them so well, even an out-of-towner knows where he stands.-- "Publishers Weekly" (1/1/1994 12:00:00 AM) This is one of the few mystery books I've read that I didn't completely figure out halfway through . . . Roberts's characters are colorful and intriguing. The plot is creative, the settings rich and varied and the writing literate, yet comfortable.--Sue Todd "Hudson Hub-Times" (1/1/1994 12:00:00 AM)
