The Man Who Fell From the Sky

FEATURING BILL FLETCHER JR. – What happens when a long-time labor and racial justice activist and author writes a work of fiction? You get a page-turner woven through with powerful political analysis. That’s what Bill Fletcher Jr.’s debut novel, The Man Who Fell From the Sky offers.

In this murder mystery set in the 1970s, Fletcher weaves an intriguing tale of a Cape Verdean American journalist named David Gomes who attempts to unravel a case and thereby delves into his own family history and the racial complexities that exist within societies.

Actor and activist Danny Glover praised the novel saying, “Bill Fletcher pulls together history and mystery to create an exciting and compelling story of race and revenge. It is truly an unexpected page turner.”
