From the Dust Jacket: "The time is just a few years from now, and the place is an all-too-familiar America. And in this provocative new novel, Evan Hunter dissects the fears and tensions of a sharply divided country -- one where riot and assassination have become almost commonplace, and where men and women have come to regard political violence as not only desirable, but absolutely necessary. The story focuses on one man, forced by his own intense feelings of impotence and outrage to join in an assassination plot that becomes half-dream and half-nightmare. In compelling, dramatic terms, NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE THERE captures the suspenseful agony of a man, a family, and a nation perched on the panicky edge of dissolution.". First Edition (so stated). Hard Cover. Very Good++ condition./Very Good dust jacket.. Illus. by Gotfryd, Alex (jacket design). 8vo. (x), 249pp..

About About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
