{"product_id":"9780802128010","title":"The Knowledge: A Richard Jury Mystery","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their signature wit, sly plotting, and gloriously offbeat characters, Martha Grimes’s \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling Richard Jury mysteries are “utterly unlike anyone else’s detective novels” ( \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e ). In the latest series outing, \u003ci\u003eThe Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e , the Scotland Yard detective nearly meets his match in a Baker Street Irregulars-like gang of kids and a homicide case that reaches into east Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobbie Parsons is one of London’s finest, a black cab driver who knows every street, every theater, every landmark in the city by heart. In his backseat is a man with a gun in his hand—a man who brazenly committed a crime in front of the Artemis Club, a rarefied art gallery-cum-casino, then jumped in and ordered Parsons to drive. As the criminal eventually escapes to Nairobi, Detective Superintendent Richard Jury comes across the case in the Saturday paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo days previously, Jury had met and instantly connected with one of the victims of the crime, a professor of astrophysics at Columbia and an expert gambler. Feeling personally affronted, Jury soon enlists Melrose Plant, Marshall Trueblood, and his whole gang of merry characters to contend with a case that takes unexpected turns into Tanzanian gem mines, a closed casino in Reno, Nevada, and a pub that only London’s black cabbies, those who have “the knowledge,” can find. \u003ci\u003eThe Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e is prime fare from “one of the most fascinating mystery writers today” ( \u003ci\u003eHouston Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e ).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030670229744,"sku":"9780802128010","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802128010_p0.jpg?v=1763668074","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802128010","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
