{"product_id":"9780803233591","title":"Perfect Murders","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps best known for editing the popular post–World War II magazines \u003ci\u003eGalaxy Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBeyond Fantasy Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, Horace L. Gold also wrote comic-book scripts for DC Comics and penned numerous pulp adventures and science-fiction stories. \u003ci\u003ePerfect Murders\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of seven of these stories, captures the timeless emotions evoked by pulp and science fiction for the twenty-first century. Though the main character is always called Gilroy, his identity shifts from story to story: the horserace handicapper fighting for his dame, the private eye sussing out the murderer, or the hard-boiled journalist exposing the mad scientist. And though Gold uses the traditional genres—time travel, Armageddon, science gone awry, murder, extraterrestrials—\u003ci\u003ePerfect Murders\u003c\/i\u003e is nothing less than a horrific, page-turning, fictional thrill ride engineered by one of the leading science-fiction writers and editors of the mid-twentieth century. The Bison Books edition is introduced by Gold’s son, E. J. Gold, offering a new perspective on these classic stories.","brand":"UNP - Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016374796528,"sku":"9780803233591","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803233591_p0.jpg?v=1763667031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803233591","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
