{"product_id":"feather-thief-book-kirk-wallace-johnson-9781786330130","title":"The Feather Thief","description":"SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD  Who is Edwin Rist?  Genius or Narcissist? Mastermind or Pawn?  One summer evening in 2009, twenty-year-old musical prodigy Edwin Rist broke into the British Museum of Natural History. Hours later, he slipped away with a suitcase full of rare bird specimens collected over the centuries from across the world, all featuring a dazzling array of priceless feathers.   Kirk Wallace Johnson was waist-deep in a river in New Mexico when he first heard about the heist, from his fly-fishing guide. When he discovered that the thief evaded prison, and that half the birds were never recovered, Johnson embarked upon a years-long worldwide investigation which led him deep into the fiercely secretive underground community obsessed with the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying.   A page-turning story of a bizarre and shocking crime, The Feather Thief shines a light on our fraught relationship with the natural world’s most beautiful and valuable wonders, and one man’s relentless quest for justice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50027139399953,"sku":"GOR009034464","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391986176273,"sku":"CIN178633013XG","price":5.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51243666800913,"sku":"GOR013008577","price":12.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51266267709713,"sku":"GOR011784404","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51345486151953,"sku":"GOR008994098","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52469766586641,"sku":"CIN178633013XA","price":23.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178633013X.jpg?v=1750833041","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/feather-thief-book-kirk-wallace-johnson-9781786330130","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
