Need a private eye? None better than Milan Jacovich.
Milan Jacovich, Roberts's likable Cleveland sleuth, has investigated college campuses and labor unions, middle-European rivalries and small-town elections. Two of the very most affecting, however, are in Roberts's new book, where Jacovich contends with the murder of an old Native American, a tribal historian, and the subsequent kidnapping of the man's infant great grandaughter. Does this tie in with Milan's paid assignment -- to see if a toy manufacturer's accountant is selling the firm's secrets on the side?
