{"product_id":"the-house-opposite","title":"The House Opposite","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe return of Ben, the prince of tramps with his rich Cockney humour and naïve philosophies – and in trouble as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrange things are happening in the untenanted houses of Jowle Street. There are unaccountable creakings and weird knockings on the door of No. 29, where the homeless ex-sailor Ben has taken up residence. But even stranger things are happening in the House Opposite, from where a beautiful woman in an evening gown brings Ben a mysterious message – and an errand that puts him in more danger than he bargained for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce Ben the ‘passing tramp’ had been immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock in No. 17, his return in a new novel was guaranteed. The House Opposite tells the story of criminal goings-on from both sides of a London street and was admired for being delightfully amusing and genuinely uncanny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45170173837491,"sku":"9780008155865","price":280.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/41Rji3xeNXL.jpg?v=1765275002","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-house-opposite","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
