One of our Books of the Year 2013.
Read this. It has one of the most original twists at the end of the book that I have ever read. It starts with a horrific, graphic scene of torture but quickly moves on to a story of office life and company politics. I loved this part. It was fun, fast and addictive. It concerns a trouble-shooter, James Thane, former drunk and womaniser, being given one last chance to save a company. He changes the purpose of the software use and sacks half the workforce. He discovers some shady dealings and is paid a hefty sum for his silence. All looks good and then some very strange things start happening and the novel switches up a gear. Tension is ratcheted up, clues start making sense and you realise you are in a very dangerous world indeed. This is first class, recommended to all. A genuine page-turner, brilliant.
Jimmy thinks he knows about loss, about fear, about paranoia. He should think again. Every time Jimmy Thane has been faced with a crossroad, he's taken the wrong path.
