The Indian Sign: A Milan Jacovich Mystery (Mysteries & Horror)
Milan Jacovich's newest client doesn't trust his newest employee and  with good reason. When toy magnate Armand Treusch hires the Cleveland PI to  check up on his accountant, Milan quickly discovers that David Ream isn't who he  purports to be. But Treusch turns out to be just as duplicitous as Ream and  a lot less ethical. The security problem he's paying Milan to fix is a lot  more serious than industrial espionage, with the potential to endanger millions  of unsuspecting families. While Milan's working out the moral dilemma involved  in squealing on his client, he's also working on another, more interesting case  involving the murder of an elderly Native American and the kidnapping of the  man's great-grandson. Cleveland's a long way from the reservation, but Milan  manages to connect the kidnapping to a baby-stealing ring run by a local mobster  and the lowlife lawyers on his payroll.This is the 11th outing for Milan, an eminently likable guy who knows his  Midwestern territory like a native and limns Cleveland's back alleys and hidden  byways with a spare, telling style. The writing is crisp, the pacing steady, and  the violence minimal. Les Roberts is a dependable craftsman with a good hand at  characterization, and Milan's a solid guy with just enough brass to make him  interesting.--Jane Adams--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
