Inside the Fall

“Inside the Fall caused Barnes & Noble Booksellers to do a double take. Barnes & Noble took a second look at the thrilling debut novel by sensational Oakland, California author Terry E. Hill, and decided the book is a keeper. Barnes & Noble Booksellers stores nationwide now carry the intriguing insider’s tales of back-office politics under the leadership of San Francisco’s first African American mayor. Mayor Elijah D. Farrow had it all—a lovely, intelligent and polished high-society wife, presidential-like influence across the nation, and his eye on serving a second term. Why, then would he jump from the fifth floor ledge of the City Hall rotunda? And, to what lengths did his wife go to instigate his downfall?

Inside the Fall delves into the city’s ongoing issues concerning the homeless, the mayor’s homosexual affair, and his consequential suicide in the City Hall rotunda.

What “Primary Colors" exposed about national politics, Inside the Fall reveals about big city politics. Hill cleverly weaves recent news headlines into his storyline, and even offers a startling, yet simple solution to San Francisco’s current homelessness problem. Hill’s new and dynamic literary offering shares a first-hand account of what goes on behind closed doors in the world of high-stakes politics.

“Inside the Fall is an impressive debut novel by Terry E. Hill. It’s a little book (only 182 pages), but it packs a big punch, exploring a political sex scandal leading to a mayor’s lethal fall from grace.” CityFlight Newsmagazine
