But the neighborhood is changing: A blood bank is set to open across the street from the retail space he leases from his brother Joe, and Huddy wants to move to a less seedy part of town. A pawn shop should stay right on the edge of seedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a longtime client dies, his widow calls Huddy to come appraise his considerable gun collection. If he can buy up the guns, Huddy knows he can make a killing, possibly change his fortunes for good. But he needs cash up front, and for that he needs Joe. Soon the restless youngest, Harlan, is also involved-they could use the manpower to move the haul-and slowly the brothers' old family dynamics reassert themselves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is trouble inherent in these wares. There is trouble inherent in this family. And there is something inherent to Memphis . . . something that means a change of fortune can't come easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Schottenfeld's first novel is a masterful depiction of a city, a business, and a family. It is an investigation of class and law, ownership and value, loyalty, betrayal, and blood; one that gathers power and resonates long after it's done.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134476665072,"sku":"9781620406366","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781620406366_p0.jpg?v=1763857755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781620406366","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
