A crowded airport security line has Michael Tanner, CEO of a gourmet coffee company, making a quick mistake. He accidentally picks up another laptop instead of his own, and when he gets home he realizes his error. The owner of the computer now in his possession is a U.S. senator, and what Michael sees on the device is not only top secret but also potentially illegal. The folks who work for the senator have figured out that Michael has their boss's laptop, and they will do anything to get it back. There are a couple of moments in which Michael seemingly has the opportunity to end the danger by giving back the laptop, but he elects to keep it. His reasoning is baffling at first, but it ends up making complete sense by the end.
VERDICT Finder (Guilty Minds; The Fixer) has written another compelling thriller that demonstrates his strengths of mixing corporate themes with mayhem. This one is bound to be another best seller as the perfect summer read. [See Prepub Alert, 1/8/17.]
