Another one mailed in Several of our most readable authors are not working very hard any more. I would mention DeMille, Grisham, and Harris (he of the abominable HANNIBAL) as three of them. It would seem they have contracts to fill, and fill them they do, but the quality of the work deteriorates with each try. Grisham relies on his tried-and-true technique of having his characters do the same things except in different locations over and over again. It's not too exciting but it does manage to stretch this short story to book length.
