The Dutch: A Milan Jacovich Mystery

<p>#12 in the Milan Jacovich mystery series . . . </p><p>In street parlance, &quot;the dutch&quot; is another expression for suicide. That's what everyone assumes happened to Ellen Carnine when her broken body is found 150 feet below the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge in downtown Cleveland. A terse, sad suicide note has been left on the screen of her home computer. </p><p>But her grieving father asks private eye Milan Jacovich (it's pronounced MY-lan YOCK-ovitch) to figure out why a bright and successful, dot-com executive like Ellen took her own life. Milan is introduced to a different reality by Ellen's four best female friends, an old lover, her employers, and some of the lowlifes from Cleveland's meanest streets. </p><p>The search for the truth leads Milan into the unfamiliar territory of Internet chat rooms, where he learns a great deal about the faceless people who live part of their lives behind a screen, becoming best friends -- or bitter enemies -- without actually meeting. </p><p>Milan pushes too far -- and uncovers the most brutal and heinous crime he's ever faced. </p>
