Лес Робертс0.0 #5 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series . . .
Every Clevelander understands the lake effect, a weather condition that brings plenty of snow, especially in November when election time rolls around.
Milan Jacovich (it's pronounced MY-lan YOCK-ovich), the genial Cleveland private eye, has never been a political animal. But he owes a favor to mobster Victor Gaimari, and Milan always pays his debts. So he agrees to play watchdog over a mayoral election in suburban Lake Erie Shores in which dowdy housewife Barbara Corns is challenging incumbent Gayton True.
Everything seems calm on the surface--until True's wife, Princess, is run down in the street just outside downtown Cleveland's Tower City. It becomes obvious that there is more at stake than the mayor's chair in a quiet suburban city hall. And when he discovers that the True campaign has employed his old nemesis, disgraced ex-cop Al Drago, who carries a grudge a mile wide, Milan knows he's in for a lot rougher time of it than simply poll-watching.
Эд Голдберг0.0 Shamus Award winner. Lenny Schneider, New York PI, is happiest listening to jazz or dining at Old Kiev and taking an occasional low-risk job.

Джанет Иванович4.0 Серия искрометно веселых романов о Стефани Плам принесла американской писательнице Джанет Иванович грандиозную популярность. Каждый роман о незадачливой охотнице за сбежавшими из-под залога преступниками - чтение неимоверно увлекательное, интригующее и поразительно смешное.
В первой книге Стефани поручено крайне ответственное задание: отыскать Джо Морелли, полицейского, обвиняемого в убийстве, а по совместительству совершенно неотразимого мужчину и настоящего мачо. Это дело не сулило бы особых хлопот, если бы не осложнялось тем, что когда-то этот самый Морелли сумел воспользоваться наивностью и неопытностью новоиспеченного детектива. Причем не один раз... Впрочем, находчивости и изобретательности мисс Плам не занимать, а неиссякающий оптимизм и безграничное чувство юмора всегда выручают ее из множества дурацких и нелепых ситуаций, в которые она почему-то все время попадает.

If Dorsey makes the wrong move, he's liable to take the big fall-down himself and he's got no insurance. . .

When her "dog" of an ex-husband, the father of her son, shows up like a bad penny, she can't turn down his plea for help. For no apparent reason, somebody is killing his sons, one by one, and the police are less than concerned about it: Black men killing one another, nobody seems to give a damn. It's up to Tamara to find the killer - before death comes stealing her only child. Valerie Wilson Wesley has created a smart, sexy, knowing heroine unlike any readers have met before. With wry humor and a keen sense of urban life, Wesley imbues Tamara Hayle with the true grit and feminine wiles that make her an enduring character, whom readers will love discovering, and whose next appearance they will eagerly await.
