{"product_id":"9780985853310","title":"The Hurting Game","description":"What would you do if your best friend was killed right in front of you, and the assassin fled without a trace and was never found? Would you wait forever for justice to run its course, or take it into your own hands?\u003cp\u003eWhat would you do if you were a private investigator specializing in defending indicted felons but was forced to switch to the other side of the street to hunt down a killer? If your family is threatened along the way, and someone tries to kill you, would bringing the murderer to justice satisfy you? Or would you want something more?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the murky world of boxer Danny Cullen and former legendary DEA agent Frank Boff, a world where the line between right and wrong gets bent out of shape and the only real satisfaction is vengeance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are the unlikeliest of teams. Cullen is a disciplined professional boxer who plays by the rules. Boff is a maverick investigator who believes anything goes as long as he doesn't get caught doing it. They have nothing in common except the mission: find out who killed Cullen's best friend, world champion boxer Julio Babbas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither attempts to hide their disdain for each other. But like it or not, they find themselves travel partners on a journey into a Shadow World where Cullen's friend lived and died. What they find there shocks Cullen and eventually pulls him over to the Dark Side, a place Boff calls home. Constantly in conflict, they find a common ground: find the killer and seek a punishment more just than justice: \"The Hurting Game.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathan Gottlieb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021060260080,"sku":"9780985853310","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985853310_p0.jpg?v=1763887538","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985853310","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
