{"product_id":"9781464201516","title":"A Murder in Passing","description":"\"This fascinating mystery, merging past and present, brings some little-known history to light and shows that laws change much faster than attitudes...\" -Booklist Things are slow at the Blackman \u0026amp; Robertson Detective Agency. So when Nakayla Robertson suggests a mushroom hunt at the historic, freed-slave commune The Kingdom of the Happy Land, Sam Blackman reluctantly agrees. Hunting the elusive edible, he stumbles into a rotting log...with a skeleton hidden inside. He's intrigued, but local authorities tell him to butt out. Then Marsha Montgomery comes to Asheville asking Sam and Nakayla to investigate a 45-year-old burglary at her mother's home. Someone stole a rifle and a photograph taken in 1932 at The Kingdom of the Happy Land. Is this just a coincidence? Then Marsha's 85-year-old mother Lucille is arrested for murder, and Sam knows something is amiss. Is the skeleton that of Jimmy Lang, Lucille's lover and Martha's father, a white man who disappeared in 1967? A veil of betrayal and deceit hides a killer desperate to protect a dark secret, and not even Sam is safe from the deadly consequences of a murder in passing.","brand":"Mark de Castrique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46769488036158,"sku":"9781464201516","price":480.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781464201516_94b7a922-10c6-49f9-95ba-527daec19cac.jpg?v=1707473734","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781464201516","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
