He finished as the Director of Investigations with the New York State Dept. of Health laboratory division. There were stops as a Sr. Child Support Investigator and deputy sheriff in Madison County, New York, in between. In 1996, when he was supposed to be retired, he decided to tell the story of what he learned while investigating the operation of a medical examiner’s office. It was an eye-opening experience for Denny and he felt compelled to share it with others. He eventually produced a fictionalized account called The Morgue. He found to his chagrin that readers didn’t believe anything in the book could actually happen, but they liked the story and his style; rough edges and all. Six more mystery/thriller fictions followed. Listen to Denny Griffin - Book Denny
