{"product_id":"9781481732833","title":"Coastside Detectives: Distant Islands","description":"In Coastside Detectives, Distant Islands, the world-weary detective Mike Mason becomes embroiled in the local politics of coastal preservation when he is called upon to explain his involvement with an environmental activist found murdered; the body of which was recovered from a local garbage dump. Joined by his partner, Joe Ballard, the two private investigators embark on a quest to find the activist’s murderer and in doing so realize things are not always what they seem; that someone who had once taken only a keen interest in Mike Mason’s life story is now becoming an active player.  From prowling the waters just off the California coast, to running up against a vengeful developer, to following a fresh trail of body parts, Mike Mason uncovers answers, is left with questions, and learns that he has become a target.  Full of fast-paced action and darkly comedic, Coastside Detectives: Distant Islands is sure to thrill fans of old-school detective novels in the vein of Hammett and Chandler.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141837144304,"sku":"9781481732833","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481732833_p0.jpg?v=1763623778","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481732833","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
