{"product_id":"muscle","title":"Muscle","description":"LONGLISTED FOR THE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FIRST BOOK AWARD\n\nIn a hard-boiled city of crooks, grifts and rackets lurk a pair of toughs: Box and _____. They're the kind of men capable of extracting apologies and reparations, of teaching you a chilling lesson. They seldom think twice, and ask very few questions.\n\nUntil one night over the poker table, they encounter a pulp writer with wild ideas and an unscrupulous private detective, leading them into what is either a classic mystery, a senseless maze of corpses, or an inextricable fever dream . . .\n\nDrunk on cinematic and literary influence, Muscle is a slice of noir fiction in collapse, a ceaselessly imaginative story of violence, boredom and madness.","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39667919159381,"sku":"9780571352210N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/b664fa59-d781-4a55-920d-60b87f062c42.jpg?v=1644253276","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/muscle","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
