So do you want to hear the rest of it? Dumbly, Jury nodded. \u003cbr\u003e The rest of it is told by Harry Johnson, a stranger who sits down next to Richard Jury as hes drinking in a London pub called the Old Wine Shades. Over three successive nights Harry spins this complicated story about a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day as they were viewing property in Surrey. Theyve been missing for nine monthsno trace, no clue, no lead as to what happened. Hes a fascinating bloke, this Harry Johnsonrich, handsome, unattached, and brainy about the esoteric subject of quantum mechanics, a field in which the vanished womans husband, Hugh Gault, excels: Hes an authority on string theory, which has some pretty funny notions about the nature of reality. Jury wonders, Is Harry Johnson winding him up? Or did it really happen? The dog did come backbut how? And from where? And when Jury investigates, all seems to be just as Harry described it. Until they find the body. \u003cbr\u003e Praise for Martha Grimes: \u003cbr\u003e One of the established masters of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e Newsweek \u003cbr\u003e [Grimess] gift for evoking mood and emotion is as keen as her talent for inventing a demanding puzzle, and solving it.\u003cbr\u003e The Wall Street Journal \u003cbr\u003e [Grimes] excels at creating a haunting atmosphere andcharacters both poignant and preposterous.\u003cbr\u003e USA Today \u003cbr\u003e Grimes is gifted at exploring the private, sometimes horrifying, yet utterly mundane thoughts of ordinary people.\u003cbr\u003e San Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Viking Adult","offers":[{"title":"Old Wine Shades | Martha Grimes | Hardcover | 9780670034796 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks I 1753683","offer_id":49001788080280,"sku":"1753683","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81gkNmSlW3L.jpg?v=1778252620","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/old-wine-shades","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
