{"product_id":"the-man-who-hated-tony-drury-9781910040188","title":"The Man Who Hated","description":"\u003cb\u003eDoes Milton Grant, an evil, vindictive ex-police officer, reflect the hatred that lies within modern society?\u003c\/b\u003e Milton has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Divorced, and with an estranged daughter, he feels he has nothing to live for - and nothing to lose. He begins a self-imposed mission to 'correct' what he believes are some of the main faults of his fellow human beings. In his way are a fumbling old lady at the supermarket checkout, an inconsiderate driver, selfish users of mobile phones, and self-satisfied chief executive Ray, who boasts about tax avoidance. Milton's acts of corrections become more extreme and violent as the novella progresses. He is spiralling out of control. In the meantime, two police officers, Lucy and Dave Smith, are close to exposing Milton. In the explosive finale Lucy finds herself facing him, as he points a gun at her head. She is alone and has no backup. Dave is four minutes away. Will Milton kill Lucy? Or will good triumph over evil? \u003cb\u003eThe Man Who Hated\u003c\/b\u003e is inspired by the 1993 film \u003ci\u003eFalling Down\u003c\/i\u003e, starring Michael Douglas. It is the fourth in the Novella Nostalgia series, which links cinema classics with modern stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Drury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910040185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910040188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e City Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Tony Drury","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742660669695,"sku":"9781910040188","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-man-who-hated-tony-drury-9781910040188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
