{"product_id":"the-circumstantial-man","title":"The Circumstantial Man","description":"All he wanted to do that day was drive into town to look for a job. But when Pete Larkey turns the ignition key, his car won't start. He decides to walk to town. He'll have a morning beer at the Lemon Tree Lounge and buy a new battery for his car. He refuses to feel victimized. At least, he tries. But inside the bar is \"the last man on earth\" that Pete Larkey wants to see. A guy named Morton will ask a few questions that will change the course of Pete Larkey's life in a deep, dark way. There's a stolen car, a hit-and-run accident, mistaken identity, a body in his bathroom and a deadly encounter with a condescending con man named Benny. Pete Larkey knows he's not a perfect fit for the squeaky-clean town of Crestmoor. \"Everything in Crestmoor is clean and tidy,\" he thinks, \"except the inner lives of people like me.\" This innocent trip to fix his car will prove that point beyond a shadow of a doubt.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 099086667X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.099086667X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Reilly, Gary\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
