{"product_id":"pearl-book-frank-delaney-9780002258296","title":"Pearl","description":"Marks the return of Nicholas Newman, the architect protagonist of the bestselling The Amethysts, which the critics called 'unforgettable'.  Played out in the arena of football, Pearl is a compelling story in which the past rises to dominate the present and perhaps the future.  Nicholas Newman, affluent, successful, but emotionally unresolved, is a reluctant discoverer of events which took place during the Second World War. Placed under huge moral pressure by the terms of a dead friend's bequest, he stumbles upon a secret that directs the violence on the football terraces of Europe.  One of his clients holds the key. Johan Pearl -- 'the Black Pearl' -- a Dutch international footballer has commissioned Newman to design his house. With the plans comes extraordinary violence and Nicholas Newman is once again at the centre of a psychological mystery that he can only resolve by examining his own life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585125622033,"sku":"GOR004117453","price":11.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53711925444881,"sku":"GOR008403520","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0002258293.jpg?v=1751440302","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/pearl-book-frank-delaney-9780002258296","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
