{"product_id":"the-third-hypothesis-giancarlo-trapanese-9798199005197","title":"The Third Hypothesis: An impossible novel in three acts","description":"There is a house in the English countryside that appears on no map.\u003cbr\u003eThe house number is 37, on a lane where the numbers stop at 25.\u003cbr\u003eThe lane itself appears and disappears depending on who is doing the looking.\u003cbr\u003eEleven guests who don't know each other. Or perhaps they do - somehow, in some era.\u003cbr\u003eInspector Lawrence Brace of Scotland Yard, on enforced pre-retirement, arrives carrying more luggage than he holds in his hands. The others arrive after him. There is a woman who should have been dead for twenty years. There is the man convicted of killing her. And there is the Author, who has invited them all to reveal something unbearable.\u003cbr\u003eThen the Author is found dead in the Red Study, locked from the inside. Perhaps he was murdered. Or perhaps he took his own life. Or perhaps nobody did anything and everything happened exactly as it was always going to.\u003cbr\u003eA novel that plays with time, metaphysics and the classic thriller without betraying any of the three. Written with piercing aphorisms, black irony, a prose that can be baroque and surgical in the same breath - it tells a story in which the motive is neither hatred nor rage, but something considerably harder to stop.\u003cbr\u003eAnd in which doing the right thing does not require that you remember it. It only requires the act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giancarlo Trapanese,Max Miecchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798199005197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Giancarlo Trapanese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49173626093823,"sku":"9798199005197","price":9.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-third-hypothesis-giancarlo-trapanese-9798199005197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
