The Best-Kept Secret: A Milan Jacovich Mystery (Milan Jacovich Mysteries) Book

Since winning the St. Martin's Press/Private Eye Writers of America Best First Novel Contest, Les Roberts' books have grown with astonishing popularity. In his eleventh mystery, Roberts once again displays his deft hand at creating an engaging plot set in a Cleveland alive with everything from its ethnic neighborhoods and its flavorful food to a believable cast of characters. When Jason Crowell, a freshman at nearby Sherman College is accused of the rape of a fellow coed, Milan is called upon to investigate. A group calling themselves the 'Women Warriors' has posted signs all over campus unjustly accusing Jason of the crime. However, Milan finds right off that several things are very wrong with the case. First, no one seems to know who these women are or who the victim is. Second, he learns that Jason prefers men to women, and has always exemplified only the best behavior and a quiet, easy demeanor. The vindictive sexual harassment counselor wants to press charges, and the dean of the school wants to suspend Jason. It is up to Milan and his infallible sixth-sense to prove Jason's innocence before the student's whole life is destroyed. But when the one woman who knows the truth is murdered, the Slovenian shamus must really put his sleuthing skills to the ultimate test before an innocent young man is unceremoniously crucified.Read More
