{"product_id":"an-easy-thing-a-hector-belascoaran-shayne-detective-novel","title":"An Easy Thing: A Héctor Belascoarán Shayne Detective Novel","description":"Set amidst the political turbulence and social unrest of contemporary Mexico City, An Easy Thing introduces English-speaking readers to Taibo's human and world-weary protagonist, independent detective Hector Belascoaran Shayne. In this debut outing, our hero, who, incidentally, possesses an insatiable appetite for Coca Cola and cigarettes, tackles three cases simultaneously: a killing in a corrupt factory; the deadly threats against a former porn starlet's teenage daughter; and, strangely, the search for Emiliano Zapata, folk hero and leader of the Mexican Revolution, rumored to be alive and hiding out in a cave outside Mexico City.\u003cbr\u003eCombining black comedy, social history and a touch of surrealism, Paco Taibo's wonderfully idiosyncratic detective novels are admired the world over and are particularly popular in Europe and in the Spanish-speaking world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10423874\"\u003ePaco Ignacio Taibo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poisoned Pen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 6.28w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590580066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590580060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC022010\"\u003eMystery \u0026amp; Detective | Hard-Boiled\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44537031917805,"sku":"9781590580066","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ecf78226-0356-4b60-a8e8-9c3a4f3098fa.jpg?v=1701435118","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/an-easy-thing-a-hector-belascoaran-shayne-detective-novel","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
