{"product_id":"2940016088037","title":"Dead Soldiers","description":"Bill Crider, famous for the popular Sheriff Dan Rhodes mystery series, is back with a mystery novel combining his wry wit, a clever plot, and the usual hijinks - all set against the normally placid backdrop of academia. First, someone steals several valuable toy soldiers from the collection of the dean of a small liberal arts school. The dean asks Carl Burns, Chair of the English Department, to look into things. Then a college board member is killed, and one of the stolen soldiers is found at the scene. After another attempted murder, another soldier is found, making a clear link between the stolen toys and the shooting. Burns begins asking questions and finds himself involved with a varied cast of characters, all of whom appear to have some connection to both toy soldiers and the murder.","brand":"Crossroad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184135782640,"sku":"2940016088037","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016088037_p0.jpg?v=1763628491","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016088037","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
