{"product_id":"9781472112972","title":"Farthing by Jo Walton","description":"Eight years after they overthrew Churchill and led Britain into a separate peace with Hitler, the upper-crust families of the \"Farthing set\" are gathered for a weekend retreat. Among them is estranged Farthing scion Lucy Kahn, who can't understand why her and her husband David's presence was so forcefully requested. Then the country-house idyll is interrupted when the eminent Sir James Thirkie is found murdered - with a yellow Star of David pinned to his chest.   Lucy begins to realize that her Jewish husband is about to be framed for the crime - an outcome that would be convenient for altogether too many of the various political machinations underway in Parliament in the coming week. But whoever's behind the murder, and the frame-up, didn't reckon on the principal investigator from Scotland Yard being a man with very private reasons for sympathizing with outcasts and underdogs - and prone to look beyond the obvious as a result.   As the trap slowly shuts on Lucy and David, they begin to see a way out - a way fraught with peril in a darkening world.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312428102005,"sku":"9781472112972","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472112972.jpg?v=1762821811","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781472112972","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
