Murder Changes Everything
Synopsis-------------Murder Changes Everything------------334 pages (118,110 words)
Greg Garrison is a happy guy today. Riding in his flashy convertible he’s showing off to the world that he’s become a success in the movie business. These are Greg’s last moments on this earth.
Detective Millard Whitney is asked by a friend of his, the CEO of a film production company, to investigate. Millard immediately finds that Greg Garrison made many enemies on his way to the top. Certain directors, producers, and actors all had a stake in seeing Garrison gone from the scene. But there are also suspects from Garrison’s personal infidelity and humiliation can be strong motives for murder. Even as a child, Greg harmed the people closest to him.
Thrown into the mix are also a terrorist link and some local gang bangers. But the cause of Greg Garrison’s death might be what happens to us all when we’re young. Fantasy, played out, has consequences in the real world.
For this case, Millard himself becomes more personally involved when a lady he cares about is drawn into the net. The key to the case seems to lie in Greg Garrison’s past, but when he swims into these deeper waters, Millard become caught in a maelstrom that he wasn’t prepared for. Should the past remain buried, or will it be Millard who’s finally buried?
Millard begins to know, even halfway through this case, that if a film were made of his investigation, it would be called, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” The problem the detective finds is that he’s having great difficulty separating one from the other. And he’d better do it quickly, or the new title for the movie will be, “The Quick and the Dead,” with Millard quickly dead.
ABOUT THE
John Osipowicz was born in Madison, Wisconsin and graduated (cum laude) from the University of Notre Dame. After college he worked in advertising for the Chicago Tribune and then migrated into teaching, mainly in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Currently he lives across from a horse farm, thirty miles west of Philly. He has a dog old enough for Social Security and a cat so fat it's been mistaken for a raccoon. His hobbies are whimsy and leisure. The key to writing, he feels, is the ability to construct the next sentence.

Just Fair
Not an exciting story, rather boring actually. Some spelling and grammatical errors but not worth the time it took to read.
