{"product_id":"an-ingenious-excuse-john-and-nancy-lankenau-9781942586821","title":"An Ingenious Excuse: The True Story of Patrick Lyon and the First Great American Bank Robbery","description":"On the morning of September 2, 1798, just after first light, the back door to Carpenters' Hall is discovered ajar. Gold, silver, banknotes-the vast riches of a well-guarded bank vault-all of it gone without a trace. Frantic bankers secure an arrest warrant for the clever blacksmith who worked on the vault doors, a young Scot who crossed the ocean like thousands of others on America's promise of liberty and opportunity. Bankers know him to be innocent but lock him up anyway, then leave him to die in their fever-ridden jail. An incredible true tale of history about the first big bank robbery in America. It's a David and Goliath story about a recent immigrant who must uncover the truth about a robbery he didn't commit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John And Nancy Lankenau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942586825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942586821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Creek Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020","brand":"John And Nancy Lankenau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897067856127,"sku":"9781942586821","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56a89a3e-a585-4cc5-bec3-39a5faca8f8a.jpg?v=1721373071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-ingenious-excuse-john-and-nancy-lankenau-9781942586821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
