Collision Bend (Milan Jacovich Mysteries) - Softcover

Shock waves ride through the city of Cleveland when up-and-coming local television reporter Virginia Carville is found strangled to death in her home. Even more surprising is when Mary Soderberg, the station's top sales executive, implores P.I. Milan Jacovich-a former boyfriend whom Mary dumped for her current love, Steve Cirini-to clear Cirini as the chief murder suspect.

Swallowing his pride, Jacovich goes behind the scenes to uncover all the scandal and intrigue of big-city television-and the dark secrets of an ambitious newscaster. Yet he's no closer to solving the murder until he comes across an unmarked computer disk with a curious code, and a lucky guess sends him in the right direction. But as Jacovich comes nearer to the truth, he comes closer to making the evening news-as a murder victim...
