About this listen
"I don't care who you hire, or what the company has to pay him…so long as he's the best there is."
This anguished cry from the wife of murder victim Dean Milo would draw private investigator Bill Dear into one of the most frustrating, and ultimately triumphant, cases of his career.
Dean Milo was a phenomenally successful businessman who built a tiny family business into a $50-million-a-year corporation. Along the way, he established a lengthy list of enemies that began with his immediate family and stretched throughout the social and business community. His fast-track ride to the top came to a violent halt on August 11, 1980, when Milo was found dead in his luxurious Ohio home, shot twice in the head. A blank telegram form lay nearby.
Four months after his death, the investigation remained a confusing collection of non sequiturs. Clues pointed toward Milo's involvement with the Mafia, the drug world, and the gay community. His own family refused to cooperate with the authorities. And time was ticking by.
In desperation, Maggie Milo turned to Texas private eye, Bill Dear. This is the gripping story of the remarkable collaboration between Dear and the police detectives of Akron, Ohio, that led to 11 convictions, an Ohio record. It is also a tale of the human weakness, desperation, and overwhelming greed that led to a sudden death.

Up to your skinny a** in alligators.
On August 11th, the body of wealthy businessman, Dean Milo, was found in the hallway of his luxurious home. He had been shot twice in the head. Nearby, there was a blank telegram paper. Nothing seemed to have been stolen Milo had been alone in the house, his wife and children holidaying in Florida.
The police investigation was intensive but went nowhere. Milo had not been a popular man and the list of suspects was - practically everyone. After several weeks, when it became obvious that police time could not continue to be consumed with the investigation, the widow requested that a private detective be brought in, able to dedicate all of his attention to the case. Enter William Dead who, working with the various police departments, throws himself into solving what turns out to be a crazy story with numerous trails, twists and suspects as well as revealing jealousy, greed, misguided loyalty, dedication, addiction and despair. I'm tempted to say that if this were fiction, I might have had trouble believing it all. But it is based on the files and interviews collected at the time together with court records and personal recollections. Told, however, with the intrigue of a crime thri!ler, this book also gives an up close and personal look at the tasks, constraints and procedures of the detectives.
The story of this long and comp!ex investigation is performed well by narrator, J.Scott Bennett, who is able to combine a news delivery tone fitting for the subject with a warmth tinged with amusement which holds the reader's interest. Individual voicing of the many protagonists is also a bonus. Both book and narrator fit together very well.
True crime, it seems, can be as bizarre as any fictional construct. This is one such story. Recommended to crime lovers everywhere be they followers of fiction or nonfiction.
