We have a patron who is looking for a mystery series which she believes is
written by a doctor and set in Chicago. She thinks either the doctor or
his character may have the name Milton.

I found reference to a mystery series by Susan Rogers Cooper with a
character named "Milton Kovak." However, this series takes place in
Oklahoma and Kovak is a sheriff. The book titles are "Chasing away the
Devil", "Dead moon on the rise", and "Doctors and lawyers, and such."

Eileen Dreye sets her medical thrillers in Chicago. Could the book possibly
be one of hers?

My candidate for the Chicago mystery doctor is Jack Caleb, a gay
psychiatrist, who works with police detective John Thinnes, to solve crimes,
but I can't connect a "Milton." Titles in series by Michael Allen Dymmoch
include (and this may be all of the books in the series): MAN WHO
UNDERSTOOD CATS, INCENDIARY DESIGNS, and DEATH OF BLUE MOUNTAIN CAT.
Please let us know the answer to the patron's question if you can.
Thanks,
Jan

I'm not sure about this at all because I don't know if the author is a
doctor but the name Milton makes me think of the Milan Jacovich mysteries
by Les Roberts which are set in Cleveland, not in Chicago. Just a thought...
