Older Tony Hillerman, before Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn, I believe.

This is a very different Hillerman book - at first, I didn't think I'd like it but I ended up getting really involved in the plot and the people. The protagonist is a likable guy. He is a reporter that stumbles on a story that he thinks is anything but! Stay with the book - you'll get hooked until the end.

Not your usually Tony Hillerman, i.e., this one is not set in the SW desert, does not feature Chee or Leaphorn. Instead, it is the story of a newspaper story, it's origin, its researching, its political ramifications, its consequences for the newspaperman author. There are some awkward jumps from reality to the story in the newsman's head, but once you become used to the unique style Hillerman uses for this one book, it flows. Good read.
