Wise, sharp, and sometimes devastating, \u003ci\u003eThe Cipher\u003c\/i\u003e leads us through a world in which little can be trusted, takes its measure, and does not look away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31659052826647,"sku":"9780807173978","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/brodak.gif?v=1594941960","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/10-15-2020-the-cipher-by-molly-brodak","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
