It was the perfect retreat for a troubled company. No cell
phones. No BlackBerrys. No cars. Just a luxurious, remote
lodge surrounded by thousands of miles of wilderness.
All the top officers of the Hammond Aerospace Corporation
are there. And one last-minute substitute — a junior
executive named Jake Landry. He’s a steady, modest, and
taciturn guy with a gift for keeping his head down and a
turbulent past he’s trying to put behind him.
Jake’s
uncomfortable with all the power players he’s been thrown in
with, with all the swaggering and the posturing. The only
person there he knows is the female CEO’s assistant—his
ex-girlfriend, Ali.
When a band of backwoods hunters
crash the opening-night dinner, the executives suddenly find
themselves held hostage by armed men who will do anything,
to anyone, to get their hands on the largest ransom in
history. Now, terrified and desperate and cut off from the
rest of the world, the captives are at the mercy of hard men
with guns who may not be what they seem.
The
corporate big shots hadn’t wanted Jake there. But now he’s
the only one who can save them.
Power Play
is a non-stop, pulse-pounding, high-stakes thriller that
will hold the reader riveted until the very last page.
