Book Description:
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.

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.

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...

Remember, it isn't paranoia if they really are out to get you. I love being totally surprised by a book's ending, and Finder doesn't disappoint.

This is a good thriller. Shouldn't be overlooked. Written in first person, the author really takes you in. A surprise at the end, by the way. We accidentally had 2 copies! That's when you buy too many books and don't even realize what you have!

Corporatee espionage at its very best. Surprises and twists around every corner. Onee of those books you can't put down. Lots of male ego and lots of well deserved comeuppance.

Very well written. Don't read it, though, if you do not like "down" endings.

The SanFrancisco Chroniicle reviewer called it a high-octane ride.It has more twist and turns than a mountain road.

If you like reading Grisham, Ludlum, DeMille, Dan Brown, etc., and you haven't tried Finder, you are in for a surprize. His thrillers rank right up there at the top. This is the story of a low ambition junior staffer at a high-tech behemoth corporation that gets in deep trouble and the only way to avoid proscedution and prison is to become a mole-spy in a competitor's company. The ending is terrific.

Pretty good; I would have liked the last page ending to be different, but I am not the author, so it's not my choice.
