As a former homeowner in Petoskey, with a family history in law enforcement, I found Lisa's Story hit home. Like Lisa, I too suffered from what I believe was blatant harassment from what I view as corrupt community of Petoskey's law enforcement officers. Several of the key names that were mentioned in Lisa's Story, interestingly enough were involved in my own personal nightmare of life in Petoskey! 911 calls went unanswered, assault investigations were not properly or timely investigated, resulting in charges not being filed, albeit guilty confessions. Lisa lost her battle before mine began. Many people recognized my fear and intimidation by the local 'good, old -boy's club', her story was highly recommended to me, due to the similarities in what people called, `set ups'! My conversations with Lisa's mother and Jon MacKay have made me realize how lucky I am to have escaped with my life, I'm sorry Lisa didn't. This book is a must read for anyone that is interested in `real' crime. True, there are some errors in punctuation, but the story remains the same, Lisa's death should not be in vain. My hope and prayers are with the Piel family, that someday justice will be served, however, it most likely won't be in a Petoskey courtroom.

I have read Lisa's story and it breaks my heart. My thoughts are with Art and his family. I am a true believer of what goes around comes around. I hope that if there is anyone out there that knows anything I hope they speak up. I don't know how this person or persons can live with them selfs day after day knowing what they did. As for the book it's keeps you reading and not wanting to put it down. I believe we will see a second book soon. Alan I'm proud of you for writting what you did. Hope others will speak there mind also. Please read this book.
The Lisa Story is True! Believe it February 28, 2004

The Lisa Story is a perfect example of what crooked cops do. Lisa was murdered...its a fact, not an opinion. Its too obvious that this was a cover-up from the beginning. Somebody knows something and they have to come forward. This case will be solved, and the person who did this to Lisa deserves to rot in prison. And every single city cop of Petoskey who knew about this, desearves to rot in prison too. The sad thing is....these cops that knew about this, are probably still working for the city police. Who's to say that this cant happen again?!? Read the book, and tell everyone you know about it. It'll be worth it at the end, when someone comes forward with information.

I live in another community in NW lower Michigan, but nothing I read in this book surprised me. A litany of the incompetence and technological ignorance of small town police forensics. A shooting death and not a fingerprint lifted! Excellent story interestingly presented (and the proof reader is hopefully employed at another pursuit at this time!)
Great Book, bad editing September 10, 1999

The book is very informative, but the grammer stinks. Lets get to the point, the cops in Petoskey see and do only what they want. I live in this city and have seen it first hand, from small traffic tickets to racial differences. The cops treat people with money and position much different here, and this is Northern Michigan - A place where everyone comes to enjoy themselves, come on America free Lisa's name!
