{"product_id":"6-dec","title":"6-Dec","description":"Description for DECEMBER 6 by Martin Cruz Smith: \u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nSet in the crazed, nationalistic Tokyo of late 1941, December 6 explores the coming world war through the other end of history's prism -- a prism held here by an unforgettable rogue and lover, Harry Niles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nIn many ways, Niles should be as American as apple pie: raised by missionary parents, taught to respect his elders and be an honorable and upright Christian citizen dreaming of the good life on the sun-blessed shores of California. But Niles is also Japanese: reared in the aesthetics of Shinto and educated in the dance halls and backroom poker gatherings of Tokyo's shady underworld to steal, trick and run for his life. As a gaijin, a foreigner -- especially one with a gift for the artful scam -- he draws suspicion and disfavor from Japanese police. This potent mixture of stiff tradition and intrigue -- not to mention his brazen love affair with a Japanese mistress who would rather kill Harry than lose him -- fills Harry's final days in Tokyo with suspense and fear. Who is he really working for? Is he a spy? For America? For the emperor? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nNow, on the eve of Pearl Harbor, Harry himself must decide where his true allegiances lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43736619909336,"sku":"9780684872537","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/December6_cfedbb91-a6ff-42ec-9f6f-5823eb1471a0.jpg?v=1679058083","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/6-dec","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
