<strong> <span style="color:#006400">UP Notable Book Club</span>:</strong>
the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the
U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled
author events with winners of the <em>UP Notable Book List</em>.
The 29th event is with Eugene R. Milhizer and his in-depth analysis
of fact and fiction behind both the novel and movie <em>Anatomy of
a Murder</em>. As a distinguished professor of law, Milhizer has
unique insights to provide to the literary, legal, and cinematic
dimensions of the story. The movie was famously filmed in both
Ishpeming and Marquette, Michigan in an era when nearly all
Hollywood productions were done on studio lots and sets. Milhizer
captures rare recollections of this time in history in his book <em>Dissecting
Anatomy of a Murder</em>, from Ave Maria Law Press. He was warmly
received at Northern Michigan University during his book tour last
year. Milhizer writes:
<blockquote style="mso-line-height-rule:
exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust:
100%;">"I saw the film <em>Anatomy of a Murder</em> while in high
school, and soon thereafter read the novel on which it was based.
<em>Anatomy</em> was a major influence in my decision to attend to
law school and my career as a lawyer. My latest writing project is
a courtroom thriller entitled <em>Searching for Lilly</em>, which
is an homage to the authenticity of John Voelker’s novel, and his
capacity and willingness to confront the larger moral and ethical
issues that often arise during a contested murder trial.
Publication of my novel is expected by July 2023."</blockquote>

height="289" align="left"></a>"The all-encompassing
structure of Milhizer’s <em>Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder
</em>makes it unique and a must-read for the Anatomy
completist. Specifically, the book divides into three
sections: the early life and career of lawyer John D.
Voelker (pen name Robert Traver), a detailed comparison of
the real-life case, the real-life story of how Lt. Coleman
A. Peterson shot and killed tavern owner Maurice Chenoweth
point-blank in Big Bay vs. the screenplay depictions of case
materials, and lastly an intense legal analysis of the
pivotal issues including the insanity defense, jury
nullification, and the underutilization of <em>voir dire</em>
(eliminating unqualified jurors).</p>
<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule:

100%;color: #202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size:
16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">Sprinkled
throughout the copiously footnoted book are wonderful
reminisces from John Voelker about his career both as a
struggling lawyer and then as 16 years as prosecuting
attorney for Marquette County. Voelker’s love for the
rugged beauty and wilderness of the U.P. comes through his
disdain for how the newly constructed Big Mac bridge would
open up the U.P. to just about anybody and how carefully he
hid his favorite trout fishing hole. Some of these
reflections come to us through excerpts of his three prior
unsuccessful novels and his extensive personal diaries which
give us a rare look at the man behind the mirror. In one of
life’s cruel ironies, Voelker was finally selected as a
Michigan Supreme Court justice just weeks after <em>Anatomy
of a Murder</em> became a <em>New York Times</em>
Bestseller. This would have also solved his financial woes
but at the cost of forsaking his beloved U.P." -- <a
