{"product_id":"9781786120564","title":"Black Sand","description":"\u003cp\u003eDetective Chief Inspector Edgar Sparrow, known behind his back as ‘Tweety', likes to ponder a case behind the smoke issuing from his comforting pipe and when bodies start turning up connected to the local Ellingham's department Store it looks like he'll be buying a lot of tobacco before the case is solved. For these are not ordinary murders; some appear to be the multiple killings of one body - a ritual of some kind? Some involve the theft of an item such as a pendant. And then there is the presence of the black sand. The Ellinghams are an old-style aristocratic type family, as hard to break open as a Christmas nut, but maybe Margery Ellingham's long-suffering daughter, Alice, has something to say, if she can just get the detective chief inspector, who she has more than a passing fancy for, to come back and speak to her.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austin-Macauley Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064970920176,"sku":"9781786120564","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786120564_p0.jpg?v=1763729268","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786120564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
