{"product_id":"2940149559473","title":"Conjuring Max","description":"**This story is 25k words and originally appeared in the Fire \u0026amp; Frost anthology**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe witches of the world ridiculed and rejected nerdy Veronica for trying to use these newfangled computers to enhance old world spellcasting. Well, it's 1984 now, and Veronica has perfected her spellcasting computer program. And as usual, she's all alone, with nobody to share her victory with. Probably for the best--the code is far too powerful and dangerous to let out. And hey, who needs friends when you can conjure virtually anything...or anybody?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Veronica uses her new powers to solve a crime, she makes powerful Chicago mafia enemies. No problem: she conjures Max, a pit bull of a cop so dangerous to organized crime that they had him killed some months back. Who better to deal with the hit men who keep coming around than a cop like Max?  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut tough-guy Max might be more than Veronica and her magic can handle--and he is in no mood to play lapdog to a gorgeous witch.","brand":"Carolyn Crane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079679787248,"sku":"2940149559473","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149559473_p0.jpg?v=1763718964","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149559473","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
