{"product_id":"2940158207716","title":"Undercover - An Austen Noir","description":"A Pride and Prejudice, non-canon variation, Undercover brings a unique voice and new style to the genre: Noir, a romantic, crime fiction novel filled with intrigue, steamy nights, and 20th Century historical fiction. Jane Austen's beloved characters become entangled in a Philip Marlowe-esque adventure of love and mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's November 1952 in New York City where mysterious denizens linger in smoky bars and darkened alleys. The second Red Scare is dredging up a new swarm of \"Commies\"; \"duck and cover\" are the lingo of the day. And hard-boiled private eyes aren't always men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne audacious dame, Elizabeth Bennet, is undercover in a case of suspected murder: her best friend, Mary King, has been missing for eighteen months. Determined to find the man she believes did the girl in--one George Wickham--her investigation collides with an enigmatic bachelor, Fitzwilliam Darcy and his socialite sister, Georgiana.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDarcy is loaded, from a high-society family with all the money and the right connections for a future in politics. Elizabeth's a career girl from the wrong side of the East River, but the sexual chemistry between them cannot be denied. She is focused on finding Slick Wick and he is hell-bent on stopping her investigation. But why? He's hiding something, but she'll use almost every weapon in her H-bomb arsenal to get his lips flapping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurder, kidnapping, and a brainy broad with a body for sin are just enough to break Darcy's stone-cold reserve. She's so provocative that maybe he'll even be taking a trip down the aisle despite where she's from, what she does, and the fact that she knows George Wickham.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe advised: this novel contains mature sexual content.","brand":"Vanity \u0026 Pride Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181970243824,"sku":"2940158207716","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158207716_p0.jpg?v=1764110823","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158207716","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
