This is the unfortunate story of a serial killer that could have been avoided. How? By the individual seeking help with his personality disorder. But as the saying goes, You can see a fly on someone else, but you cant see an elephant on yourself. Stanley, who worked for an insurance company, wanted desperately to advance. A few things stood in his way. He was devoid of a personality that made it difficult to be liked by his fellow workers. He totally lacked any communicative or motivation skills that made his supervisors not consider him as a leader in any sense. Annual cost of living raises, yes; promotions to a leadership position, no. Instead of seeking help, Stanley decided to make his own claim to fame and punish those along the way that had mocked him. He thought of himself as invisible, but placed the blame on all those around him. Put all this together and you have Mr. Cellophane. They will come to know me and pay dearly for their ignorance in not acknowledging my superiority! A monster has been turned loose.

REALLY!?! is the story of privilege and purgatory . . . and the road traveled to both. Told as a series of uniquely lampooning and insightful anecdotal observations, Marc Freden quite literally travels the world, as the host of a British television series, to find out just where and who he is in the world. REALLY!?! takes on such lauded institutions as Hollywood, Catholicism, the British Monarchy and fame while exploring Freden’s personal vulnerability in dealing with homosexuality, depression, molestation and relationships. It’s written with his unique blend of raw, self-deprecating humor and honesty—the same winning combination that made him a true international television personality.

Timing is everything, says St. Paul Daily Dispatch photographer Alan Jeffrey when he's asked why somebody always gets killed when he and Daily Dispatch reporter Warren "Mitch" Mitchell are visiting Martha's Vineyard. Mitch and Al and their cartoonist companion, Dave Jerome, are on the celebrated vacation isle to testify for the prosecution in the trial of identical twins Ima and Ura Jewell, who are accused of murdering Dave's uncle, Walter Jerome. The twins, who were Walter's financial advisers, had also tried to murder this answer-hungry trio after confessing that they'd killed Walter because he'd caught them stealing $500,000 from his account. As the trial of the glamorous twins begins, a new mystery arises when two visitors from St. Paul are shot to death by a professional killer on Grand Illumination Night on the grounds of the historic Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association. While Mitch, Al and Dave puzzle over who hired the killer and why, another shooting takes place in the same Campgrounds cottage. The search to identify the person who paid the killer leads the three friends, who fashion themselves as The Three Musketeers, into a fast and furious deep water boat chase and a too-close encounter with a fast-moving airplane. Meanwhile, the murder trial moves on toward an uncertain verdict as the defense goes on offense against Mitch, Al and Dave.
