Muscles Music and Murder

As he sits front row center for the Columbus Symphony Orchestra's opening night concert, overweight and underpaid attorney, Winston Barchrist III, is shocked as its new Russian Maestro is shot during the finale of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture-the one where real cannons boom at the end. The pro bono defense of his best friend in the homicide of a Belgian body builder during the Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Classic, will now no longer be the only case on Winston's mind. Powerful people in the community, including the Symphony Board Chairman, begin exerting pressure on him, as the Maestro's daughter hires him to find out who shot her father. The two matters become more and more intertwined as Winston investigates, bringing him dangerously close to some dark corporate secrets and too many seemingly unrelated coincidences to ignore. After reading three autopsy reports and observing two of the autopsies himself, Winston is certain the capers in which he's involved are not only about MUSCLES and MUSIC, but also about MURDER."
