Description

John Martone was at the top of his game. Well-educated and intelligent, with a corporate position in a major restaurant chain and a high ranking meteorologist in the Navy Reserves, John worked diligently to reach his goals. He was well respected in both positions until a dark, underlying desire surfaced. John's esteemed position in life quickly collapsed when he was arrested for attempting to purchase a minor for sex and transmitting child pornography over the internet. Then, when he had the opportunity to pull his life back together he was once again arrested, this time for poisoning his wife by tainting her stomach medication capsules with a lethal combination of other medications. John's possible life sentence in prison for that crime was shortened considerably by shoddy police work and interfering court personnel. After spending only ten years in prison, John convinced his parole officer, family and friends that he had the determination and willpower to be an honest, law abiding citizen who was capable of piecing together a future after losing so much. But this attempt was cut short as he lay dead in an undignified position for seven days on his apartment floor before anyone found him. Was it murder? The only person who knows for sure is a drug-addicted prostitute who stepped over John's lifeless body while she stripped his apartment of all of his possessions. Let Me Tell You What Happened covers the destruction of a sexual deviant and the devastation he caused his wife and six young sons in the process. Turning to the help of a renowned psychic medium, the story of John's life is tied together from beginning to end, offering much needed closure to those affected by him. The author, his ex-wife, lived to tell her story and experienced the strength and tenacity one gains from getting a second chance at life.
