        Power Play  -  Joseph Finder

                   Guilty Pleasure


Good high-stakes thriller.  As usual with this author.

We start off with Jake Landry, a peon in a high power company ( a company that builds very expensive aircraft), substituting for one of the top honchos at the annual retreat.  The retreat is in an extremely remote area in British Columbia, Canada.  Of course, there is not reception of any kind.  The perfect, stress-free weekend. Or is it??

  Trouble erupts and everyone at the lodge is held hostage by a band of backwoods hunters. These armed men seem to think they have stumbled upon the perfect scenario to get a really big ransom.

Jake was unwanted by all the other executives to go on this trip but now he might be their only hope of getting out alive.
This is a hard-to-put-down book,  some twists I didn't see coming but also a little predictability. Still, all-in-all, a good read.
