Order of Milan Jacovich Books


Milan Jacovich (pronounced My-lan Yock-o-vitch) is the central character in a series of mystery novels by American author Les Roberts. Set in Cleveland, Milan is a battered Slovenian-American private eye who has a taste for Stroh’s and likes to dance to polka. Milan is an ex-cop and a Vietnam vet. He has a strong-willed Serbian ex-wife who has custody of his two sons who he gets to see every other Sunday. Milan has a strong working man attitude, which appeals to Roberts’ Cleveland-based readership.

Milan Jacovich made his debut in the novel Pepper Pike, published in 1988. The series is currently ongoing. Below is a list of Les Roberts’ Milan Jacovich books in order of when they were originally published (which is also their chronological order):
