{"product_id":"first-stone-book-elliott-hall-9781848540729","title":"The First Stone","description":"***Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and The Handmaid's Tale***   America has been redeemed.  Felix Strange, veteran of a disastrous war in the Middle East, has returned to his native New York, to find his home nation changed. With a Christian extremist administration in the White House, and the Crusade of Love preparing the Untied States for the Second Coming, a new America is about to be born.  When a high-ranking preacher is found dead, Strange is tasked with bringing his murderer to justice. But what begins as a routine investigation will soon reveal the terrifying ways in which America is lurching towards totalitarianism itself.  The First Stone is the first novel in Elliott Hall's cult hit Strange Trilogy: the eerily prescient series which foresaw the advent of new puritanism, and the rise of the American right.   ************  Praise for The First Stone  'The First Stone is a knockout . . . Strange's sardonic wit makes him the perfect guide to his troublingly familiar landscape' - Guardian  'Ingenious and witty' - Daily Telegraph  'Outstanding' - Independent  'Wonderful' - The Times  'An ingenious twist . . . Hall's novel combines pacy storytelling with a disturbing dystopian vision' - Mail on Sunday","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613291913489,"sku":"GOR001792781","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51296312426769,"sku":"GOR003171486","price":8.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848540728.jpg?v=1750963572","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/first-stone-buch-elliott-hall-9781848540729","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
