The Fly on the Wall

“Tony Hillerman’s novels are like no others.”—San Diego Union-Tribune

Packed with twists, a stand-alone thriller set in the hallowed—and deadly halls of—Washington, DC, from legendary master Tony Hillerman.

John Cotton is a fly on the wall—an ace political reporter who sees all, hears all, and keeps out of sight. But when he finds his best friend’s corpse sprawled on the marble floor of the rotunda beneath the U.S. Capitol’s soaring dome, Cotton instantly realizes he’s been exposed. He knows too much about a scandal involving a senatorial candidate, a million-dollar scam, and a murder. He can hear footsteps coming ever closer—ruthless enemies with dangerous secrets and the power to keep them hidden.
