wow, this book was so suspenseful. Excellent reading. It was one that I couldn't put down. If you haven't read any of Joseph Finder's books, then you are missing out.

Junior exec goes to high-level executive retreat, the kind where they fall over backwards into the arms of the other attendees. Only, things get a bit tense with his ex-girlfriend there and some bad guys wanting a truck full of money to not kill everybody. Rather standard "isolated and alone" kind of plot, but written pretty well and the hero is likable. Good lunchtime book, which is exactly what it was.

Loved it from the first page.

Good book. Jake Landry is a quiet, modest junior executive Called on as a last minute replacement at a top level retreat. Stuck at a luxury lodge literally in the middle of no place, cut off from civilization, Jake is surrounded by arrogant power players who resent him being there. The only person he can relate is the CEO;s assistant, Ali, an ex-girlfriend.

Fast action suspense keeps the pages turning.
