{"product_id":"9781398400191","title":"The Very Private Detective","description":"This is a humorous story concerning a civil servant, Silas Oak, working for the MOP (Ministry of Protection) who is given the task of finding a departmental mole who is leaking classified information to the London Press. Suspects include Len Hoppit, the office messenger; Dougal O'Leary, an Irishman; Girlie Lush, a secretary; and Boris Karpov, a fervent trade unionist. The trail of the mole takes Silas to Fleet Street, where he meets Sam Squiggle, the always hungry, ever-thirsty reporter for the Daily Record, to a seance where a contact is attempted to a passed-over suspect, to a dinner party where he is mistaken for a conjurer, to a theatrical costumier where he is fitted with a disguise, and on a frantic chase around Sainsbury's. Eventually, by chance, the mole is identified and Silas gains an uneasy promotion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJohn Peasedown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eAustin Macauley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eApril 30, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e126 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e139840019X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781398400191\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austin Macauley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49140438466865,"sku":"9781398400191","price":12.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781398400191__87042_a5444829-9673-46a4-9d13-03f1b18b3a3b.jpg?v=1740820308","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781398400191","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
