Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"There's A New John Grisham In Town." -People magazine, "Critic's Choice" It was only a prank: diverting cash from Wyatt Telecom's executive slush fund to throw a retirement bash for a member of the loading dock crew. But when corporate security catches up with Adam Cassidy, a low ambition junior staffer at the high-tech behemoth, they call it something else: embezzlement, to the tune of nearly $80 grand. "The Most Entertaining Thriller Of The Year."--Publishers Weekly Ruthless CEO Nick Wyatt is impressed by Adam's scheming, and offers him one way out-take on the role of a rising corporate hotshot and infiltrate Wyatt's rival, Trion Systems. His mission is to get close to Trion's legendary founder Jock Goddard, and his ultra-secret "Project Aurora," and report back to Wyatt. "A Terrific Tale...Riveting."-USA Today With Wyatt pulling the strings and a dramatically improved identity, Adam is set up as Trion's new boy genius. Suddenly, he's got a sweet new Porsche, a closet full of $1,500 suits, and even a lovely lady who thinks he's a dream. But it's all just a mirage, because Adam is about to learn that nothing is what it seems and that it isn't paranoia...everyone is out to get him... "Edge-of-your-seat action...you'll think twice about who's watching you at work!"-Washington Post Review:"This year's first contender for Page Turner of the Year is...Paranoia, a clever corporate espionage story....The corporate thriller just got an upgrade." Edward Nawotka, USA Today Review:"The cardboard characters...seem to be waiting for the movie stars to fill them in and give them life in this upscale consumer fantasy (the Porsche! the haberdashery!) of industrial espionage." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Combines a fresh voice, terrific characters, and high-octane suspense. Joseph Finder catapults himself into the front ranks of contemporary writers." Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author of Gone for Good Review:"An engrossing novel: crisp, hard, funny, and smart." Robert B. Parker, author of the Spenser series Review:"[C]ute dialogue, cardboard characters, shopworn settings, hackneyed developments, and copious product placements.... Review:"[A] fun read with a hip narrator, an engaging story set in a world rarely seenn in thrillers....Highly recommended." Library Journal Synopsis:Adam Cassidy has become rich, successful, and a high-tech hotshot overnight—only to find out that everyone is out to get him.
