{"product_id":"9781408719022","title":"The Many Lies of Veronica Hawkins","description":"\u003cp\u003eScion of industryVestige of colonialism   Cursed socialite   Tragic heiress      Just who was Veronica Hawkins?   When Martina Torres arrives in the glamorous and vibrant metropolis of Hong   Kong, newly married to her high school sweetheart, the world seems to be her   oyster. But looks can be deceiving. Adrift in a foreign city, with no job and   no friends, Martina chafes in her new role as Expat Wife.      But her luck changes when she meets Veronica Hawkins. Beautiful,   sophisticated, and very, very rich, Veronica is the epitome of Old Hong   Kong--the last surviving member of a British mercantile dynasty that built   the city during its colonial heyday. Martina can hardly believe her fortune   when she's taken under Veronica's wing and into her confidence, with Veronica   helping her to find a new apartment, a new career, and most importantly, a   new self.      Veronica transforms Martina's life and then, shockingly, she dies. She   disappears over the side of a yacht during a party attended by Hong Kong's   most influential people -- yet somehow there are no witnesses.      Was it murder? Suicide? A terrible accident? What really happened to   Veronica Hawkins?   Somebody knows but   nobody's telling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470842323165,"sku":"9781408719022","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781408719022.jpg?v=1720193100","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781408719022","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
