I am not sure what I was expecting out of this book, but
once I began reading it, it was not what I expected it to be. I was very
pleasantly surprised with this book. The story, the writing, and it even has a
pretty big twist at the end.
This book takes you
through the rise and fall of Jack Cole’s career in corporate business. It uncovers
some business practices that in some cases are probably not so far from the truth.
The Frenchman is on the loose. He cuts off the hands of his
victims and no one knows who he is. Will he get to Jack, before he is caught?
When jack gets tangled up in a sketchy business deal, everything
starts to go wrong. People begin dying, and he goes through a moral dilemma.
Does he do the right thing, or does he go to the authorities and put his job
and life at risk?
The one bright spot in Jack’s life is the love of his life
Lisa. She has had a rough past, but once she and Jack find each other again,
everything seems to be perfect. On phone call could ruin everything, though.
This is a fast-paced story about the good, the bad, and the
ugly sides of corporate jobs. It will keep you hanging on until the very last page.
5/5 stars. I was pretty stunned by the reveal of the
Frenchman at the end. And as a whole, this book was a pretty realistic read
that touched on a number of topics. For it being pretty short, it was done very
well.
