Joseph Finders New York Times bestseller Paranoia was hailed by critics as “jet-propelled,” the “Page-Turner of the Year,” and “the archetype of the thriller in its contemporary form.” Now Finder returns with Company Man — a heart-stopping thriller about ambition, betrayal, and the price of secrets. Nick Conover is the CEO of a major corporation, a local boy made good, and was once the most admired man in a company town. But that was before the layoffs. When a faceless stalker menaces his family, Nick, a single father of two since the recent death of his wife, finds that the gated community they live m is no protection at all. He decides to take action, a tragedy ensues, and immediately his life spirals out of control. At work, Nick begins to uncover a conspiracy against him involving some of his closest colleagues. He doesn’t know if there’s anyone he can trust — including the brilliant, troubled new woman in his life. Meanwhile, his actions are being probed by a homicide detective named Audrey Rhimes, a relentless investigator with a strong sense of morality — and her own, very personal, reason for pursuing Nick Conover. With everything he cares about in the balance, Nick discovers strengths he never knew he had. His enemies don’t realize how hard he’ll fight to save his company. And nobody knows how far he’ll go to protect his family. Mesmerizing and psychologically astute, Company Man is Joseph Finder’s most compelling and original novel yet

The news is shattering: Harrison Sinclair has been killed in a car accident. While his daughter, Molly, and her husband, Ben Ellison, mourn the tragedy of a powerful man cut down in his prime, the realization slowly dawns that Sinclair’s death was no accident. Harrison Sinclair was the director of the CIA. Harrison Sinclair may have been a traitor — or the Agency’s last honest man. Even his son-in-law, Ben, has heard rumors of sinister forces within the Agency that could have ordered Sinclair s assassination: Ben was an agent himself until a rendezvous gone lethally wrong made him seek the safer waters of a staid paten law practice in an old-line Boston firm. But suddenly, with the free-falling acceleration of a nightmare, Ben is thrust into a web of intrigue and violence beyond his control, compelled by an artful, inescapable maneuver back into the employ of the CIA, and lured into a top-secret espionage project in telepathic ability funded by American intelligence. As the project’s first success, Ben uses his “extraordinary powers” in the perilous search for Vladimir Orlov, the exiled former chairman of the KGB — the only man who might unlock the secret of Harrison Sinclair’s death and the whereabouts of a multibillion-dollar fortune in gold spirited out of Russia in the last days of the Soviet Union. The hunt for the truth will rush Ben headlong from Roman piazzas to a crumbling castle in Tuscany, from an impenetrable steel-clad vault beneath Zurich’s glittering Bahnhofstrasse to an opulent spa in Germany’s Black Forest, and through the dangerous tunnels of the Paris Metro. It is a chase that will bring Ben Ellison face to face with his past and culminate in a crowded Washington hearing room where, behind high security barriers, a Senate investigating committee is about to call its secret witness... as an assassin prepares to strike. Here, finally, with only seconds to act, Ben Ellison must call upon his extraordinary powers to stop a killer — or die trying. Extraordinary Powers is a mesmerizing tale of suspense that interweaves high-stakes financial intrigue with a terrifying conspiracy conceived with icy precision deep within the heart of American intelligence. It is a galvanizing and masterful entertainment enriched by an insider’s knowledge of the world of international espionage, politics, and spy tradecraft — truly an espionage novel for the nineties

He’s a witty, charismatic guy who’s well liked at the office, but he lacks the “killer instinct” necessary to move up the corporate ladder. To the chagrin of his ambitious wife, it looks like his career has hit a ceiling. Jason’s been sidelined. But all of that will change one evening when Jason meets Kurt Semko, a former Special Forces officer just back from Iraq. Looking for a decent pitcher for the company softball team, Jason gets Kurt, who was once drafted by the majors, a job in corporate security. Soon, good things start to happen for Jason — and bad things start to happen to Jason’s rivals. Jason’s career takes off. Only too late does he discover that his friend Kurt has been secretly paving his path to the top by the most “efficient” — and ruthless — means available. When Jason tries to put a stop to it, he finds that his new best friend has become the most dangerous enemy imaginable. And now it’s far more than just his career that lies in the balance. A riveting tale of ambition, intrigue, and the price of success, Killer Instinct is Joseph Finder at his very best
