{"product_id":"9789350094112","title":"Striker, Stopper","description":"Striker is the story of a young football player, Prasoon Joshi, whose father, once a top scorer in the Calcutta League, is completely sidelined after being accused by the club of deliberately throwing the winning goal. As a young player struggling to make his mark, Prasoon not only has to battle the ruthless exploitation of the football clubs, his family's straitened financial circumstances, and his own development as a player, but he has also to exorcise his father's ghosts.   Stopper, on the other hand, is the story of the much older Kamal Guha, a veteran player with an eclectic record, now playing the final game of his career...  Both novellas brilliantly capture the heady highs, and the crushing lows, the heroism ? and the ignominy ? of sport. However, it is always the game, and the action on the field, that is the real hero of Moti Nandy's writing.","brand":"Hachette India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143517225200,"sku":"9789350094112","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789350094112_p0.jpg?v=1763673683","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789350094112","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
