Known for his reporting on Utah’s KUTV Channel 2, as well as for his column and editorials in the Deseret News, Rod Decker understands the innuendoes of Utah culture, politics, and faith like few others. A graduate of the University of Utah in political science, he attended graduate school at the University of Chicago and spent a year at Harvard as a Nieman Fellow in journalism after serving as a military intelligence officer during the Vietnam War. His first book, An Environment for Murder, turned his intimate acquaintance with sagebrush politics into a page-turning mystery.
