The Pinstriped Prison
Author: Lisa Pryor
Publisher: Picador Australia
ISBN: 1741983118
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Why is that so many of the smartest people in Australia get to their 30s and realise that doing everything "right" has made for an existence they never really wanted? How is that so many of our best and brightest get sucked into being corporate lawyers and management consultants and living lives of quiet desperation? The Pinstriped Prison is a funny, frightening look at how big firms seduce brilliant students into joining the corporate world, with all its perks and excesses, and at what happens next. Crazy work hours swallow these young professionals' lives, just as dry cleaning, taxis and take-away food swallow their large salaries. And by the time they discover their work is fundamentally boring, they are usually captives of the debts they've incurred to get a lifestyle that will compensate them for their life. What does it mean for us as a nation when so many of our cleverest people are siphoned off from careers in which they could be doing something useful? The Pinstriped Prison is a smart, witty look at the consequences of selling your soul.

Trials of a Dead Lawyer’s Wife
Author: Maggie Redmon
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664188541
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
In 1997, Maggie Redmon was divorcing her disbarred husband, Scott, so she wasn’t at the hospital when his girlfriend Brandi—a defrocked nurse he’d met in drug treatment—gave conflicting versions of exactly how and when he’d fallen deathly ill that morning. At the funeral home visitation, Maggie learns that Scott changed his will mere hours before he died and bequeathed half a million dollars to Brandi, the last person to see him alive. Using the medical and legal knowledge acquired in her career as a disability examiner and professional counselor, and her decade as a civil court mediator, she embarks on a quest for truth and justice. Southern noir meets memoir in this riveting true story as Maggie encounters more bodies on Brandi’s watch; blind eyes in the offices of the sheriff, the coroner, and the medical examiner; and an unlikely white knight who champions her cause.
