{"product_id":"twenty-six-miles-andrew-spencer-9781596879683","title":"Twenty-Six Miles","description":"\"I got a big kick out of the persona the author adopted for the narrator\/protagonist. Self-deprecating and menacing at the same time, and hilarious, but in a very subtle way.\"-Reviewer Drawing inspiration from actual headlines, Twenty-Six Miles traces the life of Billy Faulkner, a Vermont farmer's son who struggles to find his place in the world. Running from one scam to another, he sets out with his girlfriend, Molly Richardson, to start a new life on Nantucket. But the demons from his past won't leave him alone, and the elusive prospect of starting over seems doomed. But Billy has a plan to get back on course, if only Molly will be willing to go along with it. It's a risky idea, but if things go right, it might just be the perfect way to start over one more time. In Twenty-Six Miles, author Andrew Spencer weaves a tale that blends his own personal knowledge of the island's culture and history together with events based on a real-life investigation. The result is an intriguing story of mystery and revenge, of fraud and double-crossing. A story in which nothing can be taken at face value. Andrew Spencer, the author of Bear Trap: The Fall of Bear Stearns and the Panic of 2008 and Tower of Thieves: Inside AIG's Corporate Culture of Greed has been a summer resident of Nantucket for forty-one years, including ten years spent living on the island year-round. Today he lives with his wife Niki in Richmond, Virginia, and still enjoys spending summers on Nantucket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596879688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596879683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iBooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Andrew Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068723032319,"sku":"9781596879683","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca0d520d-0645-4aaf-82a7-4d5a8cdbbac4.jpg?v=1685420632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twenty-six-miles-andrew-spencer-9781596879683","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
