Company Man ~ By Joseph Finder

Rating: 5 Stars

I love reading books where the author just keeps turning up the suspense by tightening a noose around a characters neck and then we the readers get to watch as he struggles to get himself out of the mess he's in. And that is exactly the kind of book Joseph Finder has delivered here. Super suspense, great characters who you feel you know and a top notch story.

I highly recommend this book. If you are a lover of thrilling and suspense fiction, you'll just love it.

The story centers around a man named Nick Conover who is CEO of Stratton (a Furniture manufacturer). One day Nick is on top of the world and then all of a sudden his life starts to spiral out of control.

Unfortunately, in the last year or so Nick's company has not been doing so well and had to lay off a lot of people.

All of a sudden Nick becomes public enemy number one. Someone breaks into his home and kills the family dog. A few days later Nick finds a strange man in his backyard. When the man refuses to leave, Nick panics and shoots him. Not knowing what to do, he calls up his friend Eddie to help him dispose of the body.

A few days later the body is discovered in a dumpster and traced back to Nick. Now a game of cat and mouse ensues between Nick, and the local policewoman, Audrey Rhimes.

After the murder Nick tries to go through his daily life as if nothing has happened. Unfortunately, he quickly learns that his employees are back-stabbing him. Everything Nick has worked for is in jeopardy!
The only bright light in Nicks life seems to be his new girlfriend Cassie. Suddenly Nick is faced with another problem...Cassie happens to be the daughter of the man he murdered.

The author creates an interesting counterpoint between Nick's professional and personal life. Nick struggles to do the right thing in the office while covering up the murder. He fails miserably at both, and it seems that everyone is turning against him.

When Nick finally sees a solution to his problems, he discovers that it has been in front of him all along. But is it too little, too late?

Finder has crafted another one of his masterpieces with this book and to tell you more of the plot would spoil the read.

Readers who (like me) enjoy fast-paced thriller action will find Company Man a hard book to put down. I confess, I lost a lot of sleep last week.

Why not check this book out at your local library or buy used on Amazon.com. You won't be sorry you did!

Until Next Time!
