{"product_id":"wheel-of-destiny-charles-muller-9780244983475","title":"Wheel Of Destiny","description":"When the diffident and ineffectual Derek Mann loses his teaching job in a girls' grammar school in England and drifts from one temporary post to another, one of his precocious pupils gives him her grandfather's wartime diary with a mission to return to Apartheid South Africa and find the opal mine she believes to be her rightful inheritance. Intrigue and violence bedevil the quest that ends in a desert under the Southern Cross. The wry, often laconic style gives full reign to the characters' latent sexuality. While the novel takes the form of a thriller, it is also a love story. The plot pivots round the war-diary of a man whose bomber was shot down in action in Egypt in 1941. The man had invested money in partnership with his wartime friend in an opal mine in a place designated by the letters 'C.P.' in 'S.A.'. His granddaughter's search for the mine affects her own as well as her former teacher's destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Muller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 024498347X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244983475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Charles Muller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483442327807,"sku":"9780244983475","price":30.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd84dbb3-d3e2-46f1-a214-67ec93650a4c.jpg?v=1778038768","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wheel-of-destiny-charles-muller-9780244983475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
