Now, a high level bank employee, Mitchell Bondurant, has been found dead in the bank’s parking lot and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder. The bank recently got a restraining order to prevent her from protesting against their practices. Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey’s for eight months - his very first foreclosure case, in fact - and although so far he’s managed to stop the bank from taking her house, the strain and sense of injustice have taken a toll. In fact, the most significant part of Mickey’s business right now is not about keeping clients out of jail but about keeping a roof over their heads, as the foreclosure boom hits thousands of people who were granted unrealistic mortgages in the good times and now face being kicked to the curb in the bad times. Even people needing legal representation to keep them out of jail are having to make cutbacks, it seems. The term for this is windowing, which also applies to the movie business.In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pays, but if defense attorney Mickey Haller was expecting an uptick in business during the economic downturn, the reality is a different story.
Back in the day, before e-books got big, publishers used to put out a hardcover and then wait a while (about a year) before putting out a paperback. And $15 is a lofty price to pay for an e-book. It is ridiculous that an e-book costs more than the hardcover. I can certainly understand people's frustration.
Connelly to have a talk with his publisher they hold him personally accountable. I'm just citing a couple of user reviews, but most of them sport similar themes: rage at the publisher, an unwillingness to be ripped off, and a feeling of injustice given the fact that an e-book costs much less to produce than a physical book. "Will go back to the library and place Connelly along with R Patterson, Sanford, and Woods on the do not buy list."
"Greedy publishers is the only thing I can see at this point," writes Al57, who threatens to get rid of his or her Nook before paying more than the hardcover.
