About This Item
New York: Sleuth/Philomel Books, 2007. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Parker's first book for young adults works pretty well for adult readers too. It is the end of WWII. For 14-year-old Bobby Murphy the new school year brings change and challenge. There is leadership of his new basketball team; new feelings for old friend, Joan, who is dating Nick, another member of the basketball team; and there is the need to solve the mystery surrounding his new teacher and the stranger who seems to be threatening her. Top edge of text lightly foxed, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a small, quarter-inch scratch on the lower end of the spine, o/w only a touch of surface wear, no tears, no creasing, no chipping, not price-clipped. Readable. Collectable.
Synopsis
From the New York Times-bestselling author of the Spenser mysteries.There is something evil in the air. Fourteen-year-old Bobby senses it. Who is that man he saw arguing with his pretty, new English teacher? And what was the real reason she missed school for days afterward? Bobby knows he should mind his own business, but times are confusing. World War II has just ended and the world is changing. Bobby's world, especially. There's his relationship with Joanie, for one-why does being her friend feel awkward all of a sudden? And then there are his buddies, the junior varsity Edenville Owls-a group of basketball players in need of a leader. Can they help each other off the court as well as they can on it? They will need to. Something evil is in the air
