{"product_id":"citizen-vincebooks","title":"Citizen Vince","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the highly acclaimed new crime novelist: a story of witness protection, petty thievery, local politics, and murder—set against the turbulent backdrop of the 1980 presidential election\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt’s the fall of 1980, the last week before the presidential election that pits the downtrodden Jimmy Carter against the suspiciously sunny Ronald Reagan. In a seedy suburban house in Spokane, a small-time crook formerly from New York, Vince Camden, pockets his weekly allotment of stolen credit cards and heads off to his witness-protection job at a donut shop. A the shop he takes a shine to a regular named Kelly, who works for a local politician. Somehow he finds himself and the politician in a parking lot at three in the morning, giving the slip to a couple of menacing thugs. And then he crosses the path of a young detective—and discovers his credit-scam partner, lying dead in his passport-photo office with a Cheerio-size bullet-hole in his head. No one writing crime novels today tells a story or sketches a character with more freshness or elan than Jess Walter. Citizen Vince is his funniest and grittiest book yet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walter, Jess","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":44148880900320,"sku":"","price":11.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e16ae14d-a30a-42c2-ab14-79fe3574777e.jpg?v=1692709250","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/citizen-vincebooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
