{"product_id":"9780992492588","title":"Force and Fraud : A Tale of the Bush","description":"Outback Australia in the mid-1800s. When rich, domineering squatter Angus McAlpin is murdered, the obvious suspect is the penniless artist, Herbert Lindsey - who wants to marry his daughter, Flora. McAlpin may have proclaimed that Flora would marry Herbert 'only over his dead body' - and Herbert's bloodstained knife and handkerchief were found near the murder scene - but the artist denies any wrongdoing. So begins a compelling murder mystery and trial, as the heiress seeks to prove her lover's innocence, and a country town takes sides. Force may have killed Angus McAlpin, but fraud follows murder in a cunning plan to see Herbert Lindsey hanged - by any means necessary. For someone else is determined to marry Flora, to obtain her property and her person; and he will stop at nothing.  Praise for Force and Fraud: 'Stunning historical mystery. Court scene worthy of Perry Mason' - Kerry Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Clan Destine Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106318270704,"sku":"9780992492588","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780992492588_p0.jpg?v=1763899982","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780992492588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
