{"product_id":"9781905916351","title":"Parallel Lines","description":"\"They call Scottish crime fiction 'tartan noir' -- and if that's the case, then the thread of red that runs through Parallel Lines is a river of blood, and the blacks and greens are the bruises on a battered corpse. This book doesn't pull any punches in its depiction of a deadly cops-and-robbers feud that strays far beyond the procedural into the personal. At the core of the story is a traditional love triangle -- the hero, the villain and the girl that gets between them -- but it's Mitchell's first-hand knowledge of what goes on behind the police station's closed doors that sets the book apart. This is a real page-turner: once that plot is set in motion, like a car with its brake pipes cut hurtling down a steep Glasgow street -- and that's an image from the book you won't forget -- it carries the reader right through to its bullet-strewn climax.\" ALAN MORRISON, Group Arts Editor, Herald \u0026amp; Times","brand":"Fledgling Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47170845999344,"sku":"9781905916351","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905916351_p0.jpg?v=1763615577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905916351","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
