{"product_id":"2940170441952","title":"The Girl in the Leaves","description":"In the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood \"weirdo\" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing-a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable wickedness.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117421019376,"sku":"2940170441952","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170441952_p0.jpg?v=1763802494","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170441952","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
