{"product_id":"9781612100692","title":"Mad Music","description":"The sixty stories of the perfectly constructed Colossus building had mysteriously crashed! What was the connection between this catastrophe and the weird strains of the Mad Musician's violin?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the accompaniment of a crashing roar, not unlike rumbling thunder, the proud Colossus Building, which a few minutes before had reared its sixty stories of artistic architecture towards the blue dome of the sky, crashed in a rugged, dusty heap of stone, brick, cement and mortar. The steel framework, like the skeleton of some prehistoric monster, still reared to dizzy heights but in a bent and twisted shape of grotesque outline.\u003cbr\u003eNo one knew how many lives were snuffed out in the avalanche.\u003cbr\u003eAs the collapse occurred in the early dawn it was not believed the death list would be large. It was admitted, however, that autos, cabs and surface cars may have been caught under the falling rock. One train was known to have been wrecked in the subway due to a cave-in from the surface under the ragged mountain of debris.","brand":"eStar Books LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135413108976,"sku":"9781612100692","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612100692_p0.jpg?v=1763842674","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612100692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
