{"product_id":"9781847088864","title":"Dope Girls: The Birth Of The British Drug Underground","description":"A drug panic. Murder. Terrifying and mysterious black and Chinese immigrants. Dope Kings. Jazz. War. An actress dead of an overdose. Dope Girls is about the transformation of drug use into a national menace. It revolves around the death in 1918, in the last furious stages of the First World War, of Billie Carleton, a West End-musical actress. Its cast of characters includes Brilliant Chang, a Chinese restaurant proprietor, and Edgar Manning, a jazz drummer from Jamaica. Around them, in the streets off Shaftesbury Avenue and in Chinatown, swirled a raffish group of seedy and rebellious hedonists. And so the drug problem was born amid a gush of exotic tabloid detail.","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157893071088,"sku":"9781847088864","price":13.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847088864_p0.jpg?v=1763747478","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847088864","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
