{"product_id":"murder-book-a-novel","title":"Murder Book: A Novel","description":"A Macavity Award Nominee\n\nAn ex-cop takes on a widespread criminal organization targeting Midwestern towns in this \"master class in the craft of suspense\" (New York Times) from the author of The Old Man.\n\nWhen a sudden crime wave hits several small midwestern towns, the U.S. Attorney for the region calls on Harry Duncan to investigate. An ex-cop known for his unorthodox methods, Duncan is reluctant to go up against a widespread criminal organization—but the attorney in question is Ellen Leicester, the wife who left him fifteen years earlier, and to her, he can't say no.\n\nInitially brought in as a consultant to determine if the racketeering is severe enough to require an all-out investigation by the FBI, Duncan quickly finds himself in conflict with a syndicate far more violent than first suspected. As the investigation develops, he begins compiling a \"murder book,\" the notebook in which a detective keeps records, interviews, photos—everything he needs to build his case. But his scrutiny of the gang soon makes Duncan a target. And Ellen, too.\n\nA thrilling and suspenseful tour of crime-addled midwestern towns, Murder Book is signature Thomas Perry, with characters you won't soon forget, crisply-described action sequences, and breathlessly-tense plotting that will keep you racing through the pages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1613163835\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1613163835.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Perry, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Crisp copy with a sturdy binding and light shelf wear.
