Synopsis

Rape, murder, stalking . . . not in the violent streets of a seething metropolis, but in the corridors of a major corporation in a sleepy Southern setting. A novel twist adds a contemporary feature: the perp is an untreated victim of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of his parish priest, a factor that becomes central in the final resolution. Company Inc is a mystery, a Whodunit. Someone is out to get Jack Enright, who runs an Employee Assistance Program for SEPCO, a large southern multi-state electric utility. The story begins with Enright becoming involved in the case of an employee who was raped; she charges she was raped by a top company executive at a company function! In the course of trying to arrange help for the woman, Jack discovers that the executive has been transferred to corporate headquarters out of state; that various people connected to the situation are being stalked, and one actually killed; and that his own status with the company is threatened. Finally it becomes clear to Jack that it is his very life that is being threatened. After the second attempt on his life, Jack and his wife are forced into hiding until the new company head offers Jack a separation with a large severance package. Believing they are no longer threatened, they take a final romantic trip to their favorite oceanfront fishing area, only to have the murderer follow them in one last attempt to kill Jack. The story comes to a horrific bloody climax, and only then does Jack discover the reality of his peril.
