In this novel of political intrigue, Pulitzer Prize finalist Ward Just captures the best and brightest of Washington amid turmoil of the sixties and its repercussions twenty years later. In the City of Fear follows the intersecting lives of a good congressman, his good wife, and the good wife's lover, an infantry colonel whose memories of the war, and a secret plot concocted by the Washington power brokers to win it, are more than he can bear.
Ward Just (1935—2019) was a war correspondent for the Washington Post and Newsweek, and the author of more than twenty novels, nonfiction books, and short story collections. These include the National Book Award Finalist Echo House, the Pulitzer Prize finalist An Unfinished Season, and the acclaimed novel Forgetfulness.
