The client, Charles, formerly a take-life-by-the-balls thrill-seeker, is now a wheelchair-bound quadriplegic determined to take revenge against the three men he holds responsible for making him the man he is today. The targets: The driver of the Hummer who, while texting, crashed head-on into Charles' hybrid; the doctor who failed to notice the hairline fracture in his vertebrae during a rushed post-accident exam, and the insurance company executive who found the loophole to deny his claim. The unlikely pair pursue their quarry in a custom Winnebago along with Jeanette, a nurse-practitioner with a past, Spike, an intellectually challenged, muscle-bound driver, and a hunting dog that Adrien is re-training as a service animal - a canine metaphor for the master who is himself questioning his purpose in life. Sharing some comedically-violent DNA with Mr. Smith's iconic film, which starred Michael Douglas as an unemployed defense worker on a one-man rampage against the multi-cultural annoyances of 1990's Los Angeles, \u003cem\u003ePro Bono\u003c\/em\u003e is as outrageously funny as it is soulfully thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738241765439,"sku":"9780999231913","price":40.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/09d6326a793a9295a3c1b59998f40249.webp?v=1765152627","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/pro-bono-hardcover-1","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
