{"product_id":"9781739298951","title":"The Dancer by Quentin Bates","description":"Tony is a young man who has always been on the losing side in life. He was brought up by his troubled, alcoholic mother who had a past of her own as a talented ballerina, until a life-changing accident brought her dreams to a sudden end. As her own ambitions for fame and success were crushed, she used cruel and brutal methods to project them onto her young son - with devastating consequences.   There's no doubt that a body found on Reykjavik's OEskjuhlid hillside has been there for a long time. The case is handed to veteran detective Valdimar, supported by Ylfa, who is taking her tentative first steps as a police officer with the city's CID while coping with her own family difficulties.   It's not long before it's clear a vicious killer is on the loose - and very little about the case is what it appears to be at first glance.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304064201077,"sku":"9781739298951","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781739298951.jpg?v=1762795440","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781739298951","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
