Clevland, Ohio is a city of many faces. Home of one of the
country's great symphony orchestras, it is home as well of "the
only river in the world that's a fire hazard". It is also the home
of a large population of immigrants from Central Europe, elderly
now, who have brought with them and kept alive in their children,
antagonisms that mirror the tragic conflicts even now tearing their
former nations apart. Milan Jacovich, Roberts's likable and very
human private eye, is American by birth, Slovene by heritage, and
savvy enough to shy away from involvement in the enmity between
Serbs and Croats. Until an appealing young woman convinces him to
help in the search for her missing Serbian grandfather.
Conscientiously, Milan follows the sparse clues in Bogdan Zdale's
disappearance: He seeks out the formidable elder who rules
Cleveland's Serbian community. He braves belligerant Croats. He
investigates a possible connection with the sudden appearance in
town of a mob hit man. As he digs deeper, he discovers there is
more to the case than the wayward wandering of a forgetful old man.
Zdale had a secret - one that goes back half a century with roots
in World War II. Stirring up old hatreds results in an explosive -
and surprising denoument, a dramatic ending to a story that rings
as true as this morning's newspaper.
