Powerplay

Joseph Finder has built his reputation as the new master of John Grisham's old territory - the piece of land where business and morality clash. And where it's everyday people who suffer the consequences. Never has this area been more topical. Big business is now often more powerful than big government and through advances in technology has more power than ever before to spy on both its customers and its employees. From e-mail tracking or loyalty cards, we are now an open book to our corporate masters. With his brilliantly paced plotting and unrivalled background in espionage, Joseph Finder is perfectly placed to describe this - and become the new superstar of contemporary thriller writing. POWERPLAY is Finder at his best. When a small group of execs from an airline company head for a retreat in woodland cabin, they can little imagine the hell about to break loose. A gripping tale of kidnap and treachery, and finding the heroes - and villains - among the people you think you know best.
