*BAD PLIGHT OF HOMELESS!*
DeVon Hardy, we know this name after his death, before his death he is just mister. Mister
is the guy who takes the elevator at Drake and Sweeney 8 floors building with Michael Brock
in downtown Washington, Drake and Sweeney is the law firm, they have 400 Lawyers working in
that building in Washington. They are a big firm, they have more lawyers spread all over the
important cities of the world.
Mister gets out of the elevator on 6th floor with Michael Brock, He is a Anti trust lawyer
working in this building, Michael hears shots, bullets are seen hitting the roof, the hall
receptionist Madam Dervier is petrified staring in the barrel of a gun.
Michael Brock shouts don’t shoot and heads towards Madam Dervier, he is lead at gunpoint to the
Conference Room on the left, this room already has 8 Lawyers from Litigation Section, all good
tough lawyers, with the gun in hand, Mister takes over the conference room among them is
included Michael Brock. Total 9 people, the terror begins.
The Hostages cannot go to relieve themselves they relieve in a flower vase, the gun rules for 6
hours, Swat team, sirens, news network helicopters surround the building, every thing good or
bad must end someday. The Hostage crisis at Drake and Sweeney ends after 6 hours, Michael Brock is shaken badly, he has blood and cerebrospinal fluid on his face.
Michael Brock is hardworking, he is no his way to become a partner, a partner usually earns
US$ 50, 000 per month with annual bonus of Five Hundred thousands, but the incident of DeVon
Hardy shakes Michael very badly. The abductor did not demand ransom or did not want to
negotiate with police or Drake and Sweeney management, he did not execute any hostages nor did
he implied to kill anyone, he just wanted to ask each hostage, how much money he has earned
last year and out of that money, how much they gave to **HOMELESS** soup Kitchens, **HOMELESS **clinics **HOMELESS **shelters.
Between the 9 hostages they grossed 3 million dollars last year, not one gave away a single
dollar to a beggar or HOMELESS shelters, HOMELESS Kitchens, HOMELESS Clinics. When DeVon Hardy is felled by Swat team, the red explosive like plastic tubes wired to DeVon Hardy do not
explode, they were fake explosives, they were empty tubes made to look real, Except for Michael
Brock no one tries to find out why MISTER(DeVon Hardy) did what he did?
Michael goes on a facts finding trip behind MISTER and his actions, he finds where he lied, what
he did, he finds DeVon Hardy was a Vietnam Veteran. He meets Mordecai Green, Sofia Mendoza, they tell him all unclaimed bodies are buried in a cemetery near RFK Stadium. DeVon Hardy had no one Mordecai Green says that Mister can be considered mentally disturbed and a miserable war
veteran, he was living the life of a **HOMELESS **and surviving on the food of Soup Kitchens.
Here onwards Michael finds out about the motive of DeVon Hardy(Mister) in choosing Drake and
Sweeney as a hostage taking target. Michael turns into a STREET LAWYER, he becomes a humanitarian from a hourly billing machine, Michael becomes human and a kind soul looking after the **HOMELESS**.
Miss Lontae Burton and her 4 kids die inside her car from suffocation, winter storms are a bad
thing, Michael becomes a part of 14th Street Legal Clinic and starts doing **PUBLIC INTEREST LAW*
I extremely like the pace of dialogues and technical points of law always present in the
writings of John Grisham, I like the insipid relationship he describes of Michael Brock and
Clair Brock, how their marriage started drifting apart from the day of their marriage, I liked
Judge DeOrio description and his handling cases. I liked the character of Arthur Jacobs and few
others, there are no impossibles achieved in this book, just achieveables are outlined, mapped
and things happen in this same manner in our actual lives too.
Being a lawyer John Grisham has a good writing knack, his conversations are superb, his writings
are enjoyable, his stories are complex and of high standard, it keeps you engrossed, John
Grisham is a tall man with handsome blue eyes, light brown beard and mustache, short hair, he
lives in Virginia. The book under review is enjoyable with pacy topsy turvey events. It is
346 pages long, anyone writing books about **HOMELESS** and soup kitchens in detail deserves 5
stars, the public must see with their eyes the plight of **HOMELESS** everywhere.
*Yo! solving wars inside our bodies will solve wars outside it!
