{"product_id":"9781912916634","title":"Dead on Time","description":"The scene is The Blue Boar in the High Street, Lulverton. The occasion: the stag party planned to celebrate Sergeant Bert Martin’s retirement after thirty years’ service. \u003cbr\u003e“It was good while it lasted,” said Bert, putting down his empty tankard with a reflective sigh. “Bein’ in the Force, I mean. Lookin’ back over the long vista of the years…” But Bert had still until midnight before Bradfield was due to step into his shoes. \u003cbr\u003eAt nine twenty-five Jimmy Hooker was still very much alive, if a little the worse for wear, when he barged in on the party in the upstairs room. At closing time he was dead in the saloon. “And I don’t think,” said ‘Pop’ Collins, licensee of the Blue Boar, “that it was in the way of nature.”","brand":"Galileo Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42420729217085,"sku":"9781912916634","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781912916634_p0.jpg?v=1771576567","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781912916634","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
