When sales superstar Bobby Bradshaw fails to close four big deals in the last week of the quarter, he is outraged. One deal he could understand. But four? No way. That just doesn't happen to the Rainmaker. Bobby is convinced the deals were sabotaged, each in a different way. But who would do such a thing? And why? To get some answers, Bobby hires private detective Joe Brink.The last thing Jessica Kraft, Bobby's CEO at software giant Forward Data Systems, needs is a sales shortfall. She's just taken over for venerable Eli Applewhite, whose death allowed Kraft to finally move into the top position she long coveted. Now she must prove to the board that she's up to the job. But Kraft must first fend off infamous corporate raider Damon Remington. And Remington is sure to pounce on the sales miss as proof that he should be allowed to take over the company and put a new management team in charge. Even after several attempts on Remington's life, his specter looms over Kraft.What starts out for Joe Brink as a case undertaken to soothe Bobby Bradshaw's bruised ego soon exposes a web of villainy that includes multiple murders. And Joe may just become the next victim.
