On the forty fifth floor of the Nakamoto Tower in downtown LA-the new American headquarters of the immense japanese conglomerate- a grand opening is in full swing.

On the forty sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the dead body of a beautiful young woman is discovered.

The investigation begins...and immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisting maze of industrial intrique...a no-holds barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely coveted prize-and the Japanese saying "business is war" takes on a terrifying reality...

from the back of the book.
This from the author of Congo...Sphere...The Great Train Robbery...etc etc. A great author.
