#8 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series . . . Hotshot young Cleveland lawyer Joel Kerner is shotgunned to death on a lonely beach on the Caribbean island of San Carlos. The local police are inept, and the Cleveland cops can't operate outside their jurisdiction, so Kerner's sister Patrice comes to private eye Milan Jacovich (it's pronounced MY-lan YOCK-ovich) to discover the truth about her brother's murder. Milan flies to San Carlos to investigate a pleasant three-day working vacation that doesn't keep him from getting stabbed in an alley and rousted by a high-level international cop. Back in Cleveland, he asks his best friend, homicide lieutenant Marko Meglich, for some unofficial help. But he runs up against Kerner's angry father, a world-famous labor attorney, along with the bevy of beautiful women Joel Kerner left behind and a powerful union leader known around town as The Irish. Milan marches forward to solve the case, though it will eventually cause him a tragic and insupportable personal loss.…

- Book 8 of 19: Milan Jacovich Mysteries
On a quick journey to San Carlos, Milan gets mixed up with organized crime on an international scale, which leads to a run-in with an Interpol cop and two knife-wielding marauders in a garbage-strewn alley, as well as an encounter with a couple of oversexed female tourists from Washington, D.C., who want to make Milan the highlight of their trip.
Back on more familiar turf, the Slovenian-American gumshoe discovers there are plenty of people who want him to stop poking around in the affairs of Joel Kerner, Jr., including a labor leader who has some secrets of his own.
