{"product_id":"2940148809128","title":"Scratchin' on the Eight Ball","description":"The story centers around 13-year-old Reason Nelson who lives in the Irish\/Catholic suburb of Havelock, in Lincoln, NE. Despite being on probation, Reason's drug addiction draws him to a party that is busted by the police. During his escape, Reason snatches up what he believes to be his leather biker jacket. Instead, he grabs up the jacket of a notorious drug dealer. Later, he finds a mysterious blue key in the pocket of this jacket. He soon has dealers, thugs, and a persistent detective, Shepherd, after him. When Shepherd finally catches up with street-smart Reason, he explains that the key belongs to a safe deposit box at a local bank. Inside this box is the evidence that will solve the murder of a young female police informant. Although the book focuses on this investigation of this real-life unsolved murder, it also looks closely at Reason's addictions, and his eventual steps to remaining clean and sober.","brand":"Storm Haven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072739524848,"sku":"2940148809128","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148809128_p0.jpg?v=1763708435","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148809128","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
