Summary: Connection times two or three
Review: I really enjoyed the Cleveland Connection. Roberts knows the city, the area, and the people well. Born and raised in NE Ohio, I really appreciated his descriptions and how true to life the characters are. My heritage is close to that of Milan and I understood the thinking of those from the old country and how they adapted to their new home. As another reviewer stated - old hates and secrets take a long time to heal - often generations.The book is fast paced and the mystery carefully plotted. I think most mystery fans would enjoy this one - from NE Ohio or not.

Summary: A timely mystery that captures the essence of Cleveland.
Review: Les Roberts books about the adventures of PI Milan Jocovich are like a window to an old familiar place for me. I was raised in Shaker Heights, part Milan's city (Cleveland). I haven't been back in twenty years and I am pleased to still be able to reconize almost all his localities. I especially enjoyed the chase scene that took him around Cain Park to Taylor Rd., where I used to sled ride. His trips to restaurants on Kelly Hill, Little Italy, were so familiar. I wonder if a beer joint named "The Library", is still there? The Mystery of who killed the Serbian immigrant is all too timely. Age old hatreds don't die, even in a free country. I really enjoyed this book as well as all of Mr. Robert's Milan Mysteries.
