Yet as the bodies pile up, he begins to find traces of slimy political dealings: are local gears grinding away in these machinations of an \"international incident\"? Pulsating behind the smokescreen of this classic noir are fierce curses, a shockingly innocent affair, smoldering dialog, and unforgettable riffs about the meaning of life, the Mexican Revolution, women, and the best gun to use for close-range killing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8.06 x 5.21 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 25, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757724696864,"sku":"9780811220668","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/dd940dcdca56e93cab6b3a20a0cbe498.webp?v=1780110137","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-mongolian-conspiracy-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
