{"product_id":"xiv-ann-strong-9781788308915","title":"XIV","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a captivating collection of fourteen stories, the macabre aspect of human nature is exposed with a rare combination of candour and piercing black humour. Mankind's worst and best attributes are highlighted as a range of challenging situations present themselves. Detective Doyle investigates murders in the most bizarre of circumstances, not helped by an overzealous temporary colleague and obstinate witnesses. A bereaved twin sister fiercely pursues a disturbing web of people traffickers. A flood of near-biblical proportions prompts survivors to desperate measures. An ordinary, downtrodden wife suddenly finds previously unknown literary inspiration from an undetectable source. The arrival of an oval-shaped gift from above and a sudden virus on communities provoke powerful reactions on those affected. Alice the intrepid Airedale displays unintentional heroism. There is very little that is predictable in this multi-faceted exploration of the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Strong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788308913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788308915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Olympia Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.54d","brand":"Ann Strong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445714759935,"sku":"9781788308915","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca809bfd-9a29-4fa0-91bb-364f02b210e9.jpg?v=1777220199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/xiv-ann-strong-9781788308915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
