{"product_id":"orion-the-flood","title":"ORION The Flood","description":"The book that began Ian Rankin's phenomenal career. Mary Miller had always been an outcast. Burnt in a chemical mix as a young girl, sympathy for her quickly faded when the young man who pushed her in died in a mining accident just two days later. From then on she was regarded with a mixture of suspicion and fascination by her God-fearing community. Now, years later, she is a single mother, caught up in a faltering affair with a local teacher. Her son, Sandy, has fallen in love with a strange homeless girl. The search for happiness isn't easy. Both mother and son must face a dark secret from their past, in the growing knowledge that their small dramas are being played out against a much larger canvas, glimpsed only in symbols and flickering images - of decay and regrowth, of fire and water - of the flood. An atmospheric crime novel that will appeal to all lovers of Rankin. This paperback book has 251 pages and measures: 17.7 x 11 x 1.8cm.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39746909372501,"sku":"9781407229652N","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/8ecd1517-2794-45d8-8c9f-1633fe0e46be.jpg?v=1644258287","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/orion-the-flood","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
