For your holiday weekend enjoyment, a Cleveland Crime special edition of Feagler and Friends!

Guest #1: Les Roberts, author of the Milan Jacovich Mysteries. Since 1988, fictional private eye Milan Jacovich has been duking it out with Cleveland bad guys from the seedy banks of Collision Bend to the manicured lawns of Deep Shaker, all the while trying to keep his name out of The Irish Sports Pages (the obituaries). Local author Les Roberts joins Feagler to talk about the series and about a new life for Milan. Local publisher Gray & Company has just re-issued the first nine books of the series.

Guest # 2: James Jessen Badal. In late August of 1951, 10 year old Beverly Potts disappeared from her west side neighborhood, never to be seen again. The mystery and the heartbreak for the family her disappearance left behind comprise one of Cleveland’s enduring tales of terror. Local writer James Badal has chronicled the Potts case in his newly-released book, Twilight of Innocence. He’s also the author of In the Wake of the Butcher: Cleveland’s Torso Murders.

Guest # 3: John Tidyman. He’s the written the real stories of the real people behind the badge. In Cleveland Cops, veteran journalist John Tidyman gives us the kind of stories we’d hear if we hung out in the roll-call room at district headquarters. These are the stories cops tell each other, stories that made them laugh, some that made them cry and everything in between. Now he recounts the best of those stories to Feagler.
