{"product_id":"books-galveston-by-nic-pizzolatto","title":"Galveston","description":"From the creator of the hit HBO series True Detective comes a powerful, gleaming-dark thriller rich with Southern atmosphere.  Roy Cady is by his own admission 'a bad man'. With a snow flurry of cancer in his lungs and no one to live for, he's a walking time-bomb of violence. Following a fling with his boss's lover, he's sent on a routine assignment he knows is a death trap.  Yet after a smoking spasm of violence, Roy's would-be killers are mostly dead and he is mostly alive.  Before Roy makes his getaway, he finds a beaten-up woman in the apartment, and sees something in her frightened, defiant eyes that causes a crucial decision. He takes her with him on the run from New Orleans to Galveston, Texas, permanently entwining their fate along a highway of seedy bars and fleabag hotels, a world of treacherous drifters, pick-up trucks, and ashed-out hopes, with death just a car-length behind.  Nic Pizzolatto's highly acclaimed, Edgar Award-nominated thriller announces the arrival of a major new talent for fans of Dennis Lehane, James Lee Burke and Breaking Bad.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480551481617,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780751557053.jpg?v=1777549172","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-galveston-by-nic-pizzolatto","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
