{"product_id":"9781495426940","title":"The Smiling Corpse - Large Print","description":"THE SMILING CORPSE is one of the most unusual books you'll read this year, and it's a pretty good bet you haven't read this since it came out in 1935. It's a mystery, but unlike any mystery you've ever read, because the \"detectives\" in this tale are quite recognizable -- as mystery writers of the Golden Age, such as S.S. Van Dine, G.K. Chesterton, Dashiell Hammett, James Cain, and Sax Rohmer.\u003cp\u003eThe book has an introduction, The Smiling Corpse-A Re-Introduction by J. Randolph Cox, as well as a Preface by John Graham Ballantine, and there's even a \"Who's Who\" in case you've forgotten some of the old masters of mystery who show up as characters in this crazy novel. There are also several beautiful illustrations by Georg Hartmann.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48295022461168,"sku":"9781495426940","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781495426940_p0.jpg?v=1764102524","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781495426940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
