The Spire ornaments the school yearbook, stationary, all publications. Steeped in lore, it tolls every hour of the school day; or to mark notable events such as athletic triumphs. But in 1993, the body of Angela Hall, a black student, was found at the foot of the Spire. Raped and murdered, she seemed oddly like a sacrifice to the newly-ominous college landmark...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Gripping and razor-sharp, \u003ci\u003eThe Spire\u003c\/i\u003e is both a hugely satisfying thriller and a poignant love story. Richard North Patterson has outdone himself-this is his most compelling novel in years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Patterson, Richard","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44231882146082,"sku":"9780230705654","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/north-patterson-richard-spire-hb-z3-9780230705654-40204184977698.jpg?v=1672262267","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/spire-hb-z3","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
