{"product_id":"9781847499189","title":"The Jew's Beech","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on a true story, The Jew's Beech centres on two brutal murders in rural Westphalia - the first of a local forester and the second of a Jewish moneylender near a beech tree - and the impact these events have on the life of Friedrich Mergel, a local herdsman with a turbulent family history. A prototype of the murder mystery and a thoughtful examination of village society, this intriguing novella contains hints of the Gothic and the uncanny - ominous thunderstorms, mysterious disappearances, eerie doppelgangers and grisly discoveries in the depths of the forest - as well as a famously ambiguous climax.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45470464180445,"sku":"9781847499189","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781847499189.jpg?v=1720186421","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781847499189","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
