{"product_id":"9781915523495","title":"Where the Bones Lie : A Novel by Nick Kolakowski","description":"Centred around the small California town of San Douglas, Where the Bones Lie is an electrifying new mystery noir novel, perfect for fans of Jordan Harper.   Relentless climate change-driven drought has dried up a lake ... revealing an old, rusty barrel. Inside the barrel, the local police discover a skeleton belonging to Ken Ironwood, a notorious L.A. smuggler who rubbed shoulders in the 1980s and 90s with gangsters and movie stars.   Ken Ironwood's ultra-hip daughter, Madeline, wants to figure out who killed her father. In her desperation, she turns to Dash McClane, a former Hollywood fixer and bagman for the studios. McClane's life is spiralling the drain, but he's willing to help Madeline because her quest seems righteous and he's looking for a little redemption. Together, they drive to San Douglas and confront crooked cops, stuntmen-turned-thugs, and a mysterious winery owner with something big to hide.   As they investigate, Dash and Madeline form a deep bond over their shared losses and a cynical view of the world. They become quite a pair: resourceful, cunning, and relentlessly sarcastic. They'll need to rely on each other as their situation turns increasingly deadly. Fortunately, McClane knows a little something about unearthing old secrets-and this isn't the first time he's had guns fired at him.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308912882037,"sku":"9781915523495","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781915523495.jpg?v=1762809674","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781915523495","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
