We all know that network TV news is a cutthroat business. Big egos, big money, and big power collide every day. And in fiction, it can turn deadly.
For his first book, a mystery novel called Those Who Trespass, TV news anchor and commentator Bill O’Reilly assembled a cast of characters with big egos making big money and craving big power.
And, as in any good mystery novel, some wind up dead, and the story turns into not just a “whodunit” but a “whydunit.”
This was, of course, only Bill O’Reilly’s first book. He’s had a long string of bestsellers since then.
He and I met 1 day in the spring of 1998 to talk about Those Who Trespass.
So here now, from 1998, Bill O’Reilly.
Bill O’Reilly is 76 now. He hosts the No Spin News podcast and is often seen on Newsmax and News Nation.
