{"product_id":"9780060584009","title":"Metro Girl (Alex Barnaby Series #1)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShe writes \"high speed comic mayhem\" (Detroit Free Press); she’s \"a blast of   fresh air\" (Washington Post), \"side-splittingly funny\" (Publishers Weekly) and   \"a winner\" (Glamour). In other words, she’s Janet Evanovich. And she debuts at   HarperCollins with a spectacular new novel, complete with high stakes, hot   nights, murder and graft. Not to mention car chases, car races, car explosions,   and car--well, you get the idea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAlexandra Barnaby got the brains in her family. The little gray cells   certainly bypassed Barney’s younger brother, Wild Bill. He’s a pretty good boat   captain but he’s taken on a new job with his eyes conveniently closed. Before   long, Bill goes missing, so Barney is dispatched to Florida with the bugs and   the heat and the bad-hair-day humidity. Barney’s thinking things can’t get too   much worse as she makes the rounds of South Beach, unemployed and sunburned,   following her brother’s trail of broken-hearted bimbos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToo bad for   Barney--she’s wrong about the getting worse part. Enter Sam Hooker. Somebody’s   stolen his boat and the trail leads to--you guessed it--Wild Bill. Since Will   Bill is missing, Hooker decides to follow Barney and see if she can lead him to   his boat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDogs and cats never die in the world of Evanovich, and bad guys   are almost always brought to justice. Sam Hooker and Alexandra Barnaby, in their   quest to reclaim what’s theirs, blast through Florida from Daytona straight on   to Key West, exposing a plot to grab Cuban land and to lay waste the people   involved. Cussing and tasteless sexual inneuendo included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048940617968,"sku":"9780060584009","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060584009_p0.jpg?v=1763619613","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060584009","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
