{"product_id":"9780578007601","title":"Theo's Story","description":"On the eve of World War II, the coatless body of prominent publisher Benjamin Dannan is found lying in the snow beside a lonely road in east Kentucky, far from home. No one knows why he is there or how he got there, or whether his death is accident or murder. The high-profile mystery remains for thirty years until an odd chain of events leads columnist Theo Clark to a story he cannot write--the story of the Dannans and Jesse Bristow. The search takes place in the middle of Bristow's bitterly fought governor's race, and leads Theo from a remote Melungeon village and the mystery of the Lost Colony to the coal mines of Harlem County and the aftermath of The Battle At Evarts. There is a \"perfect murder\" to confront, a scandal to contain, and a forsaken lover to comfort. Rhody knows his place and his time well and puts the reader in both with a fast paced and riveting tale. Theo's compulsion \"to make things right\" leads to a disturbing, but strangely satisfying, climax.","brand":"Academy Publishing \/ East","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49948710797552,"sku":"9780578007601","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780578007601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
