Set mostly in rural France during contemporary times, THE SNAKES is an all-consuming read and a devastating portrait of how money corrupts, and how chance can deal a deadly hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE SNAKES exposes the damage wreaked by parents on children as observed by a new member of the family, Dan, a mixed-race man from Peckham who marries Bea, the daughter who refuses to take any of her father's filthy money. But when Bea's brother Alex (who runs a shabby hotel in Paligny, France) dies suddenly in unexplained circumstances, the confusion and suspicion which arise bring other dark family secrets--and violence--to the surface. And none of the family, even the good members, go untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Snakes | Sadie Jones | Paperback | 9780062897039 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1679431","offer_id":48313176359064,"sku":"1679431","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81e2JyszGAL.jpg?v=1773163199","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/snakes","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
