{"product_id":"9781615951215","title":"Bones of Contention: A Dinah Pelerin Mystery #1","description":"The Top End of Australia is teeming with crocodiles, poisonous snakes, and curious Aboriginal myths. It’s a strange place to choose to end one’s life, but that is what Dinah Pelerin’s wealthy American uncle has done. Dying of cancer, he has summoned his entire family—current wife, ex-wife, assorted children and niece—to a remote, comfortless lodge where he intends to rewrite his will and commit suicide with the aid of a rogue Australian physician with whom he shares a mysterious history.\u003cbr\u003eDinah sees this time with her uncle as a last chance to learn the truth about her father, who died during the commission of a felony when she was a child. But when she arrives, she discovers that the truth has darker ramifications. Her artist brother thinks he’s possessed by the spirit of a snake god; her uncle is obsessed with a woman he married but could never possess; the rest of the family is seething with resentments; and a man none of them claims to know is murdered on a nearby island, impaled on the back of a sea turtle.  \u003cbr\u003eA wannabe anthropologist with a passion for mythology, Dinah tries to sort out the complicated song lines of her own ancestors while struggling to solve not one, but two, bizarre murders.","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148375474416,"sku":"9781615951215","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781615951215_p0.jpg?v=1763851134","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781615951215","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
