Item description from seller

246 pgs. 5 5/8" x 8.5" Ex-library w/graphics. Orange boards with design. Gray panel paste downs. Jacket art by Vincent Topazio. Jacket #7708. Spine straight, binding tight. Red & green dot on top edge. Brown wrapper from cover pasted to inside of front and back covers. Alexander Quintain skulked through the corridors of Continental Investments, Inc., tormented by the distinct impression that he was being watched. During lucid moments, Quintain was able to suppress his fears, avowing that his terror was not founded on reality. But unlike most paranoiacs, Quintain was being systematically watched. It was a well-guarded secret, for example, that Continental's elusive corporated officers received investment advice - and exerted unorthodox pressures on the opposition - through a sprawling intelligence and assassination network which was based in Continental's own offices. Terrorized by his boss and afraid to ask questions, Quintain spent his innocent days at Continental seated before his computer console. By the time Felix surfaced, Quintain had unwittingly embezzled a million dollars. Like clockwork, the money was funneled into private bank accounts. A legendary and eclectic practitioner of torture and execution, Felix had directed The Group - Continental's assassination bureau - with ruthless efficiency. then he was betrayed by jealous and power-hugtry members of The Group, and presumed dead. His announced return was an uncomfortable suprise. The conspirators knew Quintain's innocence would quickly surface under Felix's infallible ministrations. Accordingly, they set about once again to silence Felix. And Quintain. Universally betrayed, Quintain must find safety in a chaotic world of fear, betrayal, and pain. With a harrowing eye for detail, R. E. Harrington unfolds a remorseless and compelling narrative which draws irresistibly to the novel's spectacular and baffling climax. There, the timid and defeated victim must confront the living embodiment of his most terrifying nightmare.…
