Synopsis

The death of a ladykiller...

Who killed the superstar? P.I. Milan Jacovich, still grieving from the death of his oldest friend, is obligated to find out. After all, he'd been hired to "babysit" twenty-something Hollywood hunk Darren Anderson while his film was shooting in Cleveland-to keep the kid out of trouble and act as his bodyguard. But when Milan, fed up with his uncontrollable charge, walked out in disgust, the brat packer managed to get himself shot to death.

Following the trail of a studly superstar isn't easy. Everyone wants a piece of him, hot-or cold. As Milan unearths the nasty facts of Darren's life and death, it's clear he'll have to rekindle an old acquaintance with Cleveland's suave Mafia mogul to get to the bottom line of this production. He's already stepped on a lot of toes. And the burly P.I. is right in the line of fire...

From the Inside Flap

Hollywood producer Sidney Friedman has chosen Cleveland as the location for his new hope-to-be-blockbuster film, Street Games.The “shoot” is just getting underway, and the film’s star is the movie industry’s most notorious bad boy, Darren Anderson. Friedman hires Cleveland private investigator Milan Jacovich (it’s pronounced My-lan Yock-ovich) to watch over the unruly young actor and keep him out of trouble. Milan, still suffering from the tragic loss of his friend, has no interest in moviemaking but signs on just to keep himself from going crazy brooding.Keeping Darren Anderson out of trouble is like keeping your hat dry during a downpour. He’s too rich, too famous, too good-looking, and too young to handle it responsibly. When he’s accused of seducing the fifteen-year-old daughter of a local furniture mogul, Milan gets disgusted and quits the job. But murder isn’t far behind—and suddenly Milan is elbow-deep in all sorts of things that have nothing to do with a Saturday afternoon at the movies.
