{"product_id":"one-good-turn-9780316012829","title":"One Good Turn","description":"On a beautiful summer day, crowds lined up outside a theater witness a sudden act of extreme road rage: a tap on a fender triggers a nearly homicidal attack. Jackson Brodie, ex-cop, ex-private detective, new millionaire, is among the bystanders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The event thrusts Jackson into the orbit of the wife of an unscrupulous real estate tycoon, a washed-up comedian, a successful crime novelist, a mysterious Russian woman, and a female police detective. Each of them hiding a secret, each looking for love or money or redemption or escape, they all play a role in driving Jackson out of retirement and into the middle of several mysteries that intersect in one sinister scheme. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kate Atkinson \"writes such fluid, sparkling prose that an ingenious plot almost seems too much to ask, but we get it anyway,\" writes Laura Miller for \u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e. With a keen eye for the excesses of modern life, a warm understanding of the frailties of the human heart, and a genius for plots that turn and twist, Atkinson has written a novel that delights and surprises from the first page to the last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316012829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.60w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/28\/2007 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/08\/2007 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kate Atkinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635961688220,"sku":"9780316012829","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a3da5920-5d13-4a51-8c0c-56d78946087b.jpg?v=1603841007","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/one-good-turn-9780316012829","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
