{"product_id":"the-hollow-tree-mystery-paperback","title":"The Hollow Tree Mystery - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eLynn 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. \u003c\/p\u003eTam 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","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67578667499743,"sku":"9781616465803","price":27.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gsN0Ga6ehb9781616465803.webp?v=1790405673","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-hollow-tree-mystery-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
