Nick Conover, son of a factory worker, is the CEO of a major corporation. Once the most admired man in Fenwick, Michigan, Nick, having presided over massive layoffs, is now the most despised. A single parent, he's struggling to insulate his ten-year-old daughter and angry sixteen-year-old son from the town's hostility. When his family is threatened by a stalker, events spin out of control and Nick is faced with a dead body and damning circumstances. Audrey Rhimes, a police investigator with her own agenda, is determined to connect Nick to the homicide. Nick, in the meantime, begins to unravel a web of intrigue within his own corporation that threatens to gut the company and bring him down with it.
Nick Conover is the CEO of a Midwestern furniture company and a decent guy, but he is beset by personal and professional problems mostly beyond his control. Scott Brick, a seasoned reader, knows just how to keep you on the edge of your seat with this one. He captures Nick's niceness and vulnerability, the corporate raiders' duplicity, his security chief's moral bankruptcy, the plight of the dogged African-American female detective, and a host of other folks who may or may not be trustworthy. His warm voice convinces you that everything will indeed turn out okay. Good "company" for a long road trip! J.B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
