In Harm's Way — Herb Marlow

Bob Harm is a former Marine who fought in the Korean War. Financed by the G.I. Bill, he earns a History degree at the University of Nebraska, and accepts a teaching position in 1957 in Fremont Nebraska. On his first day of teaching he falls for a lovely English Teacher, Julia Adamson, and falls afoul of the principal, Aldus Kronk. a good relationship develops with Julie, but the principal, a rejected suitor of the lovely Miss Adamson, grows bitter and constantly needles Harm.

Meanwhile, a woman attacker-named the Basher by the local newspaper-spreads fear in the small city. the police are as much at sea as the other citizens of the town, and for months-perhaps years-the Basher has gone unchallenged. Who can he be?
