{"product_id":"pro-bono-ebbe-roe-smith-9780999231913","title":"Pro Bono","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the writer of the darkly comedic film \u003cem\u003eFalling Down \u003c\/em\u003ecomes the novel \u003cem\u003ePro Bono\u003c\/em\u003e, the story of Adrien, a professional assassin and amateur chef who, in order to overcome a career-crippling crisis of conscience, volunteers to kill a few deserving souls free of charge. 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebbe Roe Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 099923191X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999231913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Klipspringer Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Ebbe Roe Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066491105535,"sku":"9780999231913","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ea77a0c-26cd-4e38-9956-7d905772e988.jpg?v=1685407590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pro-bono-ebbe-roe-smith-9780999231913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
