Tony Hillerman. The Fly on the Wall, A Harper Novel of Suspense. Harper & Row, Publishers, 1971.

Price: US$150.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: This offering is a vintage copy of The Fly on the Wall, A Harper Novel of Suspense written by Tony Hillerman. The book was published by Harper & Row, Publishers, perhaps in 1971 (that's when it was copyrighted). It is a stated First Edition and the price on the dust jacket flap is $5.95. This is one of the harder Hillerman novels to find in decent shape with a dust jacket as it was his second novel (following The Blessing Way) and is NOT a Joe Leaphorn or Jim Chee novel . . . rather a novel of a newsman/reporter uncovering the details of political corruption. (Hillerman, himself, was a "long-time political reporter.") The book IS an ex-library copy. The book is in very good condition but for the library markings and the dust jacket is in very good condition with a small rectangular library sticker at the bottom of the spine. It is 5 7/8" by 8 1/4" and has 212 pages. This would make a nice gift for any fan Hillerman . . . even if it's yourself. "To John Cotton, political reporting was a game of hounds and hares. He and the other newsmen of the capitol press-room were the hunters. The politicians were the prey." Thank you!

Description: SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR in blue ink on a special, laid-in decorative bookplate. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING with complete number line (71 72 73 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). Hillerman's second book. It is not Navajo focused, instead it features politics, journalism, and murder in Washington, D.C. Bright woven blue cloth spine stamped in white and dark blue and blue paper-covered boards. Minor rubbing to tips of boards. The dust jacket is not price-clipped. It is bright, and lightly rubbed at the top and bottom of the spine with faint dark rubbing on the back and a small, well-mended 1/2" tear at the top of the front. An attractive copy. Hillerman was a Macavity Award Winner and both an Edgar and Anthony Award Nominee. The New York Times called Tony Hillerman's mysteries some of the best and certainly the most unusual mystery novels of the last few decades. The Washington Post said they are one of the consistently superior and definitely distinctive mystery series of the last 15 years. He died in 2008 in Albuquerque NM at age 83. When reporter John Cotton's friend and fellow reporter is murdered, his notebook, filled with information about a tax scam, ends up in John's hands. Not long afterward, a body is discovered in John's car, a bomb is found in his apartment, and John's girlfriend suddenly drops out of sight. John must unravel the mystery of why anyone would kill for the information the notebook contains. All our books are in our non-smoking home ready to mail. Complementary insurance in the US.

Description: Inscribed first edition of this political mystery-thriller, following journalist John Cotton's efforts to bring corruption to light - Tony Hillerman's second book. "Tony Hillerman knows what he's writing about because he is a fly on the wall," noted the LAWTON CONSTITUTION AND MORNING PRESS - indeed, he was THEIR fly on the wall for a number of years in the 1940s as a political editor (48). Best known for his Leaphorn and Chee mystery/thriller series, Hillerman used his intimate knowledge of journalism to craft a suspenseful ride through the intrigues of an unnamed capitol city, in which newspaper man John Cotton is party to a "political chess game in which murder becomes a play" (jacket). 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original quarter blue cloth binding with blue boards, blue and white lettering to spine. Original unclipped ($5.95) color pictorial dust jacket designed by Paul Spina. Fore-edge machine-deckle.
