{"product_id":"9781453252253","title":"The Scarred Man","description":"\u003cb\u003eA ghost story forces a man to confront the darkest secret of his past\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChristmas is lonely for a man with no family, and Mike North is grateful when his boss invites him to spend the holiday at his cabin upstate. But as a blizzard descends and conversation dries up, Mike regrets leaving New York City. Only the arrival of Susannah, his boss’s daughter, saves him from going mad with boredom. She is quick-witted and beautiful, a perfect antidote to snow-bound tedium, and he begins to fall in love. For Christmas night entertainment, Mike invents a ghost story. It goes all right until Susannah starts to scream. Something in his half-baked melodrama about a Chicago serial killer haunted by a man with a scarred face has touched a nerve. Unknowingly, Mike described a scene that matches Susannah’s nightmares. Soon, what had been a dream begins to intrude into reality. To understand her terror, Mike digs into his own memory, hoping to unearth the secret that gave birth to the scarred man.","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124112900336,"sku":"9781453252253","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453252253_p0.jpg?v=1769907448","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453252253","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
