{"product_id":"the-hollow-tree-mystery-9781616465803","title":"The Hollow Tree Mystery","description":"Lynn Trevor, president of Cedarcliff's bank, has disappeared, and his father hires Tam O'Brien (professionally known as Tam o' Shanter) to investigate. She goes undercover as a nurse, and soon finds there is more than enough reason for grave concern. Multiple professional and personal motives arise for getting rid of Trevor, and when a body is finally discovered, Tam must use all her skill and resources to uncover the truth. Tam O'Brien, as a young female detective, breaks more than a few of the literary cliches of Golden-Age Detective Fiction. She is smart, capable, well-trained, and unsusceptible to the allure of passing romance if it's going to get in the way of her job. Her father, Rance O'Brien, is an ex-Chief of Detectives on the police force, so she grew up surrounded by officers and detectives. Inspector Pete McCoy is an old friend, willing to discuss and debate a case, though not above a little friendly competition. Dips is the young, streetwise lieutenant of her inquiry agency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Hollow Tree Mystery\u003c\/em\u003e was published as a magazine novel in 1930.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Coachwhip Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50543152103698,"sku":"9781616465803","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7e8fa541-d19a-4d9c-af13-f52d9f401457.jpg?v=1731503470","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hollow-tree-mystery-9781616465803","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
