{"product_id":"9781939548290","title":"Mintwood Place","description":"Bob Gilbert's debut novel Mintwood Place is a delightfully fresh version in the noir tradition, offering the reader a contemporary \"Casablanca\" in Washington D.C. The book's narrator, Renaissance man Joe Green, has plenty to say about love, politics and the male psyche in this page-turning romantic suspense. Joe runs a bookstore and a bistro, and painfully navigates a modern divorce while the Senate Intelligence Committee investigates his relationship with Cosmo, a protégé, who has recently been paroled after serving five years in prison for the ambiguous killing of a local black youth. Green, a proud Jersey boy, can all at once relax by watching his tortoises, hand out liberal advice to his three teenagers, and pack serious heat. He is a twenty-first century American male if ever there was one.","brand":"Calumet Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057453842672,"sku":"9781939548290","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939548290_p0.jpg?v=1763666486","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939548290","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
