{"product_id":"deacon-king-kong-2","title":"Deacon King Kong","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe year is 1969. In a housing project in south Brooklyn, a shambling old church deacon called Sportcoat shoots - for no apparent reason - the local drug-dealer who used to be part of the church's baseball team.\u003cbr\u003eThe repercussions of that moment draw in the whole community, from Sportcoat's best friend - Hot Sausage - to the local Italian mobsters, the police (corrupt and otherwise), and the stalwart ladies of the Five Ends Baptist Church. DEACON KING KONG is a book about a community under threat, about the ways people pull together in an age when the old rules are being rewritten. It is very funny in places, and heartbreaking in others. From a prize-winning storyteller, this New York Times bestseller shows us that not all secrets are meant to be hidden, and that the communities we build are fragile but vital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2020\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003ePages: 384\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 152992488X\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781529924886\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James McBride","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50545888919818,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780857527585.jpg?v=1736069342","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/deacon-king-kong-2","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
