A magazine editor can qualify as a "working journalist"
depending upon the magazine. I can't recall the details of
the Fearing novel well enough to judge this instance. It was
"crime magazine" I think, which might qualify.
"The Big Clock" was an excellent Ray Milland/Charles Laughton
movie. I was less pleased with the 1987 Kevin Costner remake
"No Way Out" which turned the investigator seeking himself
plot into a Pentagon- based thriller. Some of the elements of
"No Way Out" were too far over the top for me to maintain my
suspension of disbelief and then there was a final, unneeded
and unbelievable twist at the end.
