Synopsis

P.I. Milan Jacovich is a private investigator with a master's degree, an ex-wife, a penchant for Kolbasa sandwiches, and a habit for finding trouble. What begins as a simple bodyguard job turns into the mysterious disappearance of advertising hotshot, Richard Amber. Now Jacovich is following a trail that leads from posh private gun clubs to sleek corporate offices, political scandal - and into the heart of the Midwest Mob. And then along comes Mary, Amber's former mistress, who touches chords in Milan Jacovich he had thought were forever silenced. As he is drawn deeper and deeper into this case, he uncovers a brutal torture killing, and discovers that someone wants him off the case - and murder seems to be the easiest way.
