{"product_id":"9781609452797","title":"Gang of Lovers","description":"Padua, Italy. An unremarkable man, a husband and father,  disappears without a trace. After a few months of searching, the police  send his file to the cold cases department to be thrown in with the  files of other missing persons. One woman knows the truth about his  disappearance, but, being the daughter of a prominent and wealthy Swiss  industrialist she fears coming forward with what she knows: that she was  his lover and that there is more to his disappearance than another  bored suburban husband running out on his. Stricken by guilt, she  finally confides in a lawyer who advises her to turn to Marco Buratti,  aka The Alligator, for help. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuratti agrees to assist the woman. Initially, the case of the  woman’s missing lover seems like a lost cause, but a clue puts the  Alligator and his trusted associates, Max the Memory and Beniamino  Rossini, on the trail of the unscrupulous and brilliant criminal,  Giorgio Pellegrini, protagonist of The Goodbye Kiss and At the End of a  Dull Day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe deadly game of chicken in which the good guys and the bad guys  are often hard to tell apart is Carlotto’s specialty. But good or bad,  these men are survivors in a world where the once ironclad criminal  codes of conduct are disappearing and new criminal syndicates do vicious  battle with old.","brand":"Europa Editions, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148089737456,"sku":"9781609452797","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609452797_p0.jpg?v=1769903029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609452797","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
