Retribution

Retribution

â€œHow hard can it be?â€ asks down-on-his-luck ex-cop Neal Devlin when he takes a plum job as the security director of a Fortune 500 company headquartered in a forty-story Manhattan office tower.
This hard:
In less than two weeks Devlin will discover that a killer is targeting the companyâ€™s CEO and that the building is accessible to entry and sabotage at a hundred critical points. With the help of a feisty and tough-talking female computer specialist and an ex-con, Devlin struggles to secure the buildingâ€™s severely vulnerable security system.
And in less than three weeks, after a series of mysterious â€œaccidentalâ€ deaths of certain employees, the killer will be revealed as a world-class assassin, expert at penetrating the most sophisticated security system.
A highly sensitive deal-in-the-works prevents Devlin from going to the police, though all his instincts scream for him to do so.
With time running out and bodies piling up, Devlin finds himself trapped at the summit of the skyscraper pitting his skills against a well-armed madman with nothing left to lose.
Retribution features a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at high-tech surveillance and executive protection; an affecting portrait of a hard-edged loner, Neal Devlin, who believes he has just one more chance to get it right; and a frightening bathyscaph descent into a modern corporation where â€œacceptable causalitiesâ€ has secured a foothold.
At once an electrifying cat-and-mouse thriller and a parable of cost/benefit accounting taken to its extreme, this is a page-turning fiction at its best.
