Synopsis
Jimmy Thane knows all about crossroads. Every time he's been faced with one he's taken the wrong path. At the peak of his career, he chose alcohol. When his job became shaky, he turned to drugs. And when his wife lost faith in him, Jimmy went looking for other women. Now Jimmy's clean and he's at a new crossroads. He has one last chance to save both his career and his marriage -he has seven weeks to turn round a failing company. In return, Jimmy lands the job of CEO and he and his wife get to start over. This time he knows which path to take.
Except, from the moment he enters the building, he senses there's something very wrong -the place is too quiet, too empty. When the police come calling about the disappearance of the former CEO, Jimmy begins to wonder what he's got himself into. Then he discovers surveillance equipment in his neighbour's house, looking straight into his front room. And he begins to notice that his wife isn't just tired, she's terrified and trying to hide it.
Nothing is as it seems. Jimmy no longer feels like he's living the dream -instead he's plunged into the worst kind of nightmare there is. And when he finally gets to the truth, it's more shocking and terrifying than you could ever imagine.

From Booklist
Jim Thane calls himself a corporate turnaround executive, but thanks to substance abuse and gambling, he needs some turning around himself. A friend sets him up with a job at Tao Software, and Thane hopes he can set the company back on track while righting his own ship. It isn’t long before he discovers the company’s problem. Thanks to a thief, the place is nearly broke. Perhaps the thief was Jim’s predecessor, who disappeared without a trace, or more likely, the shadowy Ghol Gedrosian, whom no one claims to know but everyone seems to fear. Jim must recoup the funds, but as he goes about the job, he comes to realize that nobody close to him wants him to succeed—not the friend who got him the job, not his pretty personal assistant, not his therapists, not even his wife of many years. Ignoring both subtle and overt warnings about pursuing his investigation, Jim plunges ahead, only to find that his self-awareness and his grasp of the situation at hand have little basis in reality. A scattering of clues along the way comes together in a substantial surprise ending. An exciting corporate thriller. --Stephanie Zvirin
