{"product_id":"the-sound-of-silk-philip-a-oconnell-jr-9781508888529","title":"The Sound of Silk","description":"Set in the vice-ridden streets and alleys of old San Francisco and the hellish silver mines of the high Sierras, this fast-paced tale of treachery and betrayal recounts the last days of William Ralston, \"the man who built San Francisco.\" Narrated in a waterfront garret by a Civil War veteran and disgraced policeman to a jaded newspaper editor, this page-turner is a confession of complicity in the degradation and destruction of a great man. The narrator, himself enslaved by his infatuation with a Chinese slave girl, becomes a deceitful instrument of the corruption that surrounds him, a corruption that ultimately leaves the novella's heroes and villains lost amidst \"the tangled and impenetrable ruins of dreams.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip a.
