{"product_id":"books-the-playroom-by-john-connor","title":"The Playroom","description":"Excellent second novel featuring Yorkshire Detective Constable Karen Sharpe.  The daughter of a Bradford judge is kidnapped and a massive, round-the-clock investigation begins. Knowing the chances of Sophie surviving will diminish dramatically after the first twenty-four hours, Detective Chief Superintendent John Munro begins to crack under the pressure of holding together an enquiry swamped with leads.   Meanwhile, DC Karen Sharpe is pursuing her own single-handed enquiry into historic child abuse allegations when an MP is accused of rape ten years before. The task of finding corroboration looks hopeless, but Sharpe keeps at it - anything rather than face up to her own tangled personal life. The truth is more complex and frightening, leading back to still unresolved events from a year before.  Karen's enquiry uncovers connections with the kidnapping, and, in an explosion of violence and bloodshed, Karen is left fighting not just to find Sophie, but to save herself.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672629076241,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781409188766.jpg?v=1781520565","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-playroom-by-john-connor","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
