The Fly On The Wall (1971)

In his second novel, the author—a long-time political reporter and former Chair of the Department of Journalism at the University of New Mexico—crafts a chilling suspense story set against the political corridors he knows intimately. While his debut, The Blessing Way, earned acclaim for weaving suspense into Navajo culture, this follow-up dives deep into the high-stakes world of journalism, where observing as a "fly on the wall" collides with a political game where murder is a tactical play.
