{"product_id":"9781629141336","title":"Number Seventeen: A Tale of Intrigue and Murder in London","description":"When a writer emerges from a London theater, he notices an attractive young woman and an older man waiting for their car.  He arrives home after a short delay and notices the older man, whom he’d overheard tell his companion he was stopping at his club, outside the building.\u003cbr\u003eBefore going up to his flat, Number 16, the writer sees the man enter the building and pay a brief visit to Flat 17, the home of a widow, and then leave.\u003cbr\u003eThe next day, the writer is the guest of an influential millionaire who’d agreed to be interviewed for a special article.  Not long before his appointment, the writer learns that his neighbor, the widow, was murdered the previous night. To top this off, the millionaire turns out to be the man he saw enter his building. The writer’s anxiety increases when he is followed home by a mysterious limousine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe writer rapidly becomes involved in the investigation, brought along by a bickering pair of detectives who are considerably more perceptive than they first appear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reader can’t help being brought along as well, since Number Seventeen involves multiple twists and turns, international intrigue, a motorcycle chase, and more. The book thrilled readers when it was first published in 1915, and fans of “rattling good” mysteries will find it just as entertaining today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181365510384,"sku":"9781629141336","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781629141336_p0.jpg?v=1763869909","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781629141336","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
