{"product_id":"one-good-deed","title":"One good deed","description":"\"It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of donts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job -- and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail. Within a single night, his search for gainful employment -- and a stiff drink -- leads him to a local bar, where he is hired for what seems like a simple job: to collect a debt owed to a powerful local businessman, Hank Pittleman. Soon Archer discovers that recovering the debt won't be so easy. The indebted man has a furious grudge against Hank and refuses to pay; Hank's clever mistress has her own designs on Archer; and both Hank and Archer's stern parole officer, Miss Crabtree, are keeping a sharp eye on him. When a murder takes place right under Archer's nose, police suspicions rise against the ex-convict, and Archer realizes that the crime could send him right back to prison... if he doesn't use every skill in his arsenal to track down the real killer.\"--Publisher description.","brand":"Blue Vase Bulk","offers":[{"title":"Used \/ 9781538750568-001","offer_id":43827727368253,"sku":"9781538750568-001","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used \/ 9781538750568-002","offer_id":43832639455293,"sku":"9781538750568-002","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/23670033482735.jpg?v=1792085702","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/one-good-deed","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
