{"product_id":"the-deadly-joker-nicholas-blake-9781448213597","title":"The Deadly Joker","description":"When John Waterson and his young wife chose Netherplash Cantorum, Dorset, for their retirement years, they could not have predicted that this idyllic spot had one severe but unforeseeable drawback: among its inhabitants was a practical joker whose fertile mind ran to the most bizarre and grotesque designs. The Village was no place for a quite retirement, or for a gentle recuperation from the nervous breakdown that had afflicted Waterson's wife. In Netherplash, the peace is continually disrupted with extraordinary events tripping over each other which, in the end, lead to a hideous and painful murder. \u003cbr\u003e With a cast of characters who are both bizarre and believable, this is an original tour-de-force of crime fiction placing Blake firmly in the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1448213592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781448213597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Nicholas Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986237948159,"sku":"9781448213597","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ac2ad2b-5b1b-41f9-ac59-60f7d5257f0a.jpg?v=1683282166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-deadly-joker-nicholas-blake-9781448213597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
