As he pursues his inquiry, he uncovers a shabby, evil world of murder, blackmail, and black magic. He begins to feel more trapped than trapping. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In contrast to a stagnant summer in London, Octavian and Kate Gray's adoring community on the Dorset coast seems to offer Ducane refuge, but even here the after-effects of violence poison an atmosphere already electric with adolescent quarrels and intrigue. After a swim into the underworld, Ducane begins to realize that niceness is not enough. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A feast.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Nice and the Good | Iris Murdoch | Paperback | 9780140030341 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1760710","offer_id":49228827918488,"sku":"1760710","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vKWaltLrL.jpg?v=1781193832","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/nice-and-the-good","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
