{"product_id":"the-house-of-the-solitary-maggot","title":"The House of the Solitary Maggot","description":"The people of Prince s Crossing called him the old maggot. Not just because he was despicably rich  nor because he owned all their farms  or sired the wild young men who tore up the roads with their galloping horses it was because they could not pronounce the word magnate  which Mr. Skegg assuredly was.  Lady Bythewaite  his common-law wife  had a devouring love that filled her entire existence  but never affected her iron will and the implacable destiny that led from it. Only Clarence of the three sons could claim the Skegg name  and at the first opportunity he ran off to New York to change it. When he came back  it was with a new name  silent picture fame  and a deadly vengeance to act out. Owen Hawkins was the  acknowledged son who lived with Lady Bythewaite. A delicate lad  his world included each of his family  with a devotion that was frightening. Aiken Cusworth was the bastard. A great hulking horse-tamer with the smell of the fields and animals on him  he had a single bent that yanked man and beast to the line of his terrible whim. Together  they lived in the house of the solitary maggot.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44666243711029,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385044135","price":60.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0385044135_c6ab2abb-4d3a-4fd7-803a-4e3de1752ff8.jpg?v=1765518589","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-house-of-the-solitary-maggot","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
