{"product_id":"the-litigation-game","title":"The Litigation Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs this is a detective novel, it would be spoiling matters to summarise the plot.  Instead, something can be said about the themes and the strengths of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe themes are:\u003cbr\u003e\n¥ examination of the human condition;\u003cbr\u003e\n¥ a Game based upon speculation on the outcome of litigation in the Civil Courts in Scotland;\u003cbr\u003e\n¥ financial instruments, called Options; and,\u003cbr\u003e\n¥ a close examination of Edinburgh society.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn terms of strengths, this is an intellectually challenging literary piece, concentrating on the reasons for crime (Ôwhydunit?) rather than the normal ÔwhodunitÕ.  It is a very well written, keenly observed and highly stylised, piece, full of black humour and vivid descriptive prose pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365716291745,"sku":"9781291735345","price":38.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1k978r95-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1716507971","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/the-litigation-game","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
