{"product_id":"2940151272469","title":"Famous Blue Raincoat","description":"Ed Gorman's mystery short stories have a flavor found nowhere else among contemporary writers. His tales have an amazing breadth of style and plot--classical detection, private eye stories, biter-bit tales in which criminous schemes turn back on the perpetrator, and straight crime stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat they all have in common is a recognition that we cannot escape our past. The Judge Whitney-Cody McCain stories are filled with the sights and sounds of small-town America around 1958. The Closing Circle is both a detective story and a sensitive evocation of a girl coming of age. The Cage and Favor and the Princess are not only pure detection but also about understanding your first love years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou may like some of the protagonists, such as private eye Jack Dwyer in Eye of the Beholder, and despise others, including the narrator in Our Kind of Guy, but all of Ed Gorman's stories are filled with the truth of human experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStories included in this collection:\u003cbr\u003eFamous Blue Raincoat\u003cbr\u003eBlack Sheep\u003cbr\u003eThe Moving Coffin\u003cbr\u003eAnna and the Snake People\u003cbr\u003eFavor and the Princess\u003cbr\u003eThe Christmas Kitten\u003cbr\u003eWake Up, Little Suzie\u003cbr\u003eThe Closing Circle \u003cbr\u003eThe Long Way Back\u003cbr\u003eThe Cage \u003cbr\u003eOur Kind of Guy\u003cbr\u003eEye of the Beholder","brand":"Crossroad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158957310192,"sku":"2940151272469","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151272469_p0.jpg?v=1764008115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151272469","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
