Douglas Moser: James & Jim, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Imagine, if you will, James Morrison-a Cadillac of a man, cruising through life with a beautiful wife, picture-perfect home, two-and-a-half kids, and an enviable career. He's only one client away from partnership at Noble, a revered management consulting firm. The problem? His new client might be a crazed killer.

On his commute home, James witnesses a brutal murder on a passing train. But when no corpse turns up and no reports surface, he's left doubting his own sanity. That is, until the next day, when he meets the firm's newest client -- the very man he saw commit the crime.

Caught between chasing the partnership he's worked his whole life for and exposing a killer, James must navigate cutthroat office politics, a showdown with his rival -- the relentless "walking PowerPoint," Shari Perkins-and the dark secrets that come with success. Partnership might cost him more than he ever imagined.

"James & Jim is a masterpiece of an icy thriller about an ambitious innocent. James possesses the manner and power skills of a lord born to rule Wall Street's elite. But when the battle grows deadly, does he lack the bloodless soul to survive? You hope for him, you pray for him, and you fear for him as Moser edges him ever closer to a gilded abyss."

-Justin Scott, author of The Sister Queens, The Shipkiller, and Rampage

"Unforgettable. And unclassifiable. James & Jim is a thriller, a fall-down-the-stairs farce, a harrowing expose of a secret world, a comedy of manners, and a fire-and-brimstone morality tale brought to hilarious and horrifying life by the author's wicked sense of humor and bred-in-the-bone sense of ethics."

-Amber Edwards, award-winning documentary filmmaker and co-author of Forty Days and Forty Nights - A Novel of the Mississippi River

"Smart, Savage¿blazes across the page"

-Anya Liftig, author of Holler Rat

"Doug Moser has created a diabolical, unnerving thriller that cleverly captures the price paid for fiendish corporate ambition."
