{"product_id":"the-keepers-of-truth-michael-collins-9781609388041","title":"The Keepers of Truth","description":"The last of a manufacturing dynasty in a dying industrial town, Bill lives alone in the family mansion and works for the Truth, the moribund local paper. He yearns to write long philosophical pieces about the American dream gone sour, not the flaccid write-ups of bake-off contests demanded by the Truth. Then, old man Lawton goes missing, and suspicion fixes on his son, Ronny. Paradoxically, the specter of violent death breathes new life into the town. For Bill, a deeper and more disturbing involvement with the Lawtons ensues. The Lawton murder and the obsessions it awakes in the town come to symbolize the mood of a nation on the edge. Compulsively readable, \u003ci\u003eThe Keepers of Truth \u003c\/i\u003estartles both with its insights and with Collins's powerful, incisive writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609388046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609388041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042585866495,"sku":"9781609388041","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_027cc297-d30e-4153-b4b6-63fab1822ac1.jpg?v=1684962381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-keepers-of-truth-michael-collins-9781609388041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
