Signed by the author on half-title. Hillerman's 2nd novel, and the only one not featuring Lt. Joe Leaphorn or Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. Set in the capital of a midwestern state, this down-home thriller explores the dilemma faced by a veteran journalist investigating a political scandal. On the eve of the gubernatorial election, his report can make or break the leading candidate, whom he favors, and he must decide what role journalism should play in politics as he finds himself the target for murder. Fine.
