{"product_id":"9781465314475","title":"The Treaty","description":"A wry novella about an ordinary working-class man who, thinking he is getting a lucky break, finds himself in a legal morass which he cannot control. George Wilson is a partner in a Canadian gay marriage. His multi-national employer transfers him to a state in the US which refuses to recognize his marriage. His fledgling lawyer finds an obscure US - Canada treaty which she says trumps the state law, and sues. The situation devolves into legal machinations, political controversy, a diplomatic crisis, violence and death. Ultimately, he has to find his own solution because the legal system fails him.  The 1981 treaty quoted in the book actually exists.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175610597616,"sku":"9781465314475","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465314475_p0.jpg?v=1763683088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465314475","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
