Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [minor wear to extremities, light dust-soiling to top of text block, one-time owner's name neatly rubber-stamped at top of front endpaper; jacket has small tears and minor paper loss at spine extremities, moderate soiling to rear panel, miscellaneous edgewear along s…pine and elsewhere]. A psychological thriller about a young war widow who gets mixed up with an American who's wanted by the authorities, and eventually in political violence in Central America; the book begins in Atlanta and "ends in those violent and beautiful Central American countries, Guatemala and San Salvador." Sounds like the setup for a movie, except it wasn't. (Although it was later published in paperback under the title "Fear is the Hunter," not to be confused with "Fate is the Hunter," the Ernest K. Gann book which DID become a movie, or with "The Fearmakers," a novel by Hildegarde's husband and sometime collaborator Darwin Teilhet, which also became a movie. Confused yet?) It is, however, a fairly uncommon book. Illustrated by (dj illus) John Alan Maxwell (illustrator).
