{"product_id":"halo-parade","title":"Bill James: Halo Parade [2008] paperback","description":"Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur is disconsolate: his mistress, the widow of a fellow officer, has recently married another cop; and Ray Street, the young lad whom Colin sent undercover to infiltrate druglord \"You-know-who\" and his gang, is now also snorting up and recklessly endangering himself. When Street is murdered, Harpur plants evidence implicating You-know-who, but a crafty barrister sways the jury, and You-know-who is free to go after drug courier-turned-witness Peter Lowery, soon an arson victim with his former pal Celia. The extralegal comeuppance for You-know-who finds rank-and-file cops applauding the vigilante justice rendered by their superiors, who have avenged one of their own, the dead Ray Street. A gritty, unpleasant look at the dark side of passion, from Street's servicing of the homosexual druglord to Harpur and his mistress resuming their affair just days after her marriage. This is a dark, dour study of good men with sour edges.","brand":"James, Bill","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":48688734536019,"sku":"XG81845298364","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/james-bill-halo-parade-xg81845298364-56158798283091.jpg?v=1728155648","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/halo-parade","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
