{"product_id":"9781483533551","title":"The Dance","description":"Windham College, a small liberal arts college in Hamilton, New Hampshire, has \u003cbr\u003ejust won it's basketball conference tournament with a desperate last-second \u003cbr\u003eshot.  Coach Phil McKenzie is taking his team to the big dance, the NCAA \u003cbr\u003eTournament.  As the fans storm the court in jubilation, associate head coach \u003cbr\u003eRay Hopson sits slumped in his chair on the bench, dead.  Poisoned, in fact. \u003cbr\u003eJohn (Johnny) Stella, forensic psychologist, college professor and ex-cop, and \u003cbr\u003eFrank Fiamella, chief of detectives in Hamilton and John's former colleague on the\u003cbr\u003ePhiladelphia police department, have to find out, among the chaos of the great \u003cbr\u003evictory, how and who. The task is made harder when the medical examiner\u003cbr\u003e determines that Ray was poisoned twice, once by  slow-acting  nicotine and once\u003cbr\u003e by the quick-killing formalin.  Are we dealing here with one murderer or two?\u003cbr\u003eComplications abound as Frank's shaky marriage is threatened by his wife's \u003cbr\u003einsistence that he re-investigate the murder and arson conviction of her brother. \u003cbr\u003eAnd the local authorities are dead set against Frank's reopening the case. Both \u003cbr\u003ethese investigations play out against a media frenzy that engulfs Hamilton both \u003cbr\u003ebecause of the murders and because the Windham's basketball team has been\u003cbr\u003e ordained the Cinderella of the  national tournament.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141951275248,"sku":"9781483533551","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483533551_p0.jpg?v=1763629257","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483533551","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
