{"product_id":"9781481777957","title":"Death of an Oysterman","description":"Veteran homicide detective Blake Moyer comes out of retirement to join the police force in San Amaro, a small town on the Central California coast. On Moyer’s first day on the job, George Garfield, owner of the Mollusks R Us oyster farm is murdered.   A growing group of would-be environmentalists have been protesting against the oyster farm under the mistaken assumption that the activity was harmful to the ecology of the bay. The protest was begun by Sally Wicks a well-meaning, but ill-informed old time San Amaro resident. Demonstrations against the oyster farm heat up significantly when Jerry Lambert, Sally’s ne’er do-well grandnephew arrives in town.   Moyer aided by a young officer, Liam McNamara, assigned as his partner, sets out to discover who killed Garfield. As they get into their investigation of Garfield’s murder, the detectives are faced with a series of related crimes including shoplifting, burglary, dope dealing, and political corruption before they finally learn who killed George Garfield.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184560914672,"sku":"9781481777957","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481777957_p0.jpg?v=1763624054","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481777957","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
