{"product_id":"2940169177718","title":"Whale Season","description":"One Christmas Eve, Whale Harbor is visited by a man who thinks he's Jesus and claims to be looking for a game of poker. But, as usual, things are not quite what they seem. Having some version of the Lord in town for his birthday creates a strange effect on the locals: unlikely couples are breaking up and making up and making out; a luxury mobile home that belonged to an elderly couple from New Jersey (until they disappeared after a run-in with \"the Lord\") is won by a down-on-his-luck gambler in an unbelievable hand of poker; the area's most well-known and long-forgotten tourist attraction is rising up from a hole in the ground; and a gun no one has used in years is suddenly in hot demand. In the steamy climes of southern Florida, you take your miracles where you can get them-and if that means being led to salvation by a schizophrenic with a rap sheet, so be it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the rollicking tradition of Carl Hiaasen's \u003ci\u003eTourist Season\u003c\/i\u003e, with the heart of Garrison Keillor's \u003ci\u003eLake Wobegon\u003c\/i\u003e, and peopled by the kind of colorful characters who would be quite at home in any Tom Robbins novel, N.
