{"product_id":"stone-bruises","title":"Simon Beckett: Stone Bruises [2014] hardback","description":"'Somebody!' I half-sob and then, more quietly, 'Please.' The words seem absorbed by the afternoon heat, lost amongst the trees. In their aftermath, the silence descends again. I know then that I'm not going anywhere...Sean is on the run. We don't know why and we don't know from whom, but we do know he's abandoned his battered, blood-stained car in the middle of an isolated, lonely part of rural France at the height of a sweltering summer. Desperate to avoid the police, he takes to the parched fields and country lanes only to be caught in the vicious jaws of a trap. Near unconscious from pain and loss of blood, he is freed and taken in by two women - daughters of the owner of a rundown local farm with its ramshackle barn, blighted vineyard and the brooding lake. And it's then that Sean's problems really start...Superbly written, Stone Bruises is a classic nail-shredder of a thriller that holds you from the beginning. The narrative slowly, inexorably tightens its grip as the story unfurls and will keep you guessing until the unnerving and shocking final twist...","brand":"Beckett, Simon","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48754288197971,"sku":"XG80593073285","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/beckett-simon-stone-bruises-xg80593073285-56397635092819.jpg?v=1728319823","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/stone-bruises","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
