After all, kidnapping and dismemberment are all in a day's work for the Investigation and Interrogation Division. But in the European Administration, simplicity is often a dangerous illusion, and anyone who goes looking for trouble in the corporate world is certain to find more than they bargained for. Fraud, sabotage, espionage, blackmail, decades-long vendettas, and murder--the more powerful the corporations, the darker their secrets. Corporate insiders and innocent bystanders alike are all too easily caught up in the conflicts, but when suspects can hide behind money and power, what chance is there of any justice?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e And on top of everything else, Toreth also has to deal with Keir Warrick. But that's easy. That's just sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The sequel to Mind Fuck, this second book in the Administration series contains the novella Quid Pro Quo, as well as five short stories set in the near future dystopia of New London and centered around professional investigator and interrogator Val Toreth, and technical genius turned corporate Keir Warrick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manna Francis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934081094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934081099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Casperian Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manna Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988067844351,"sku":"9781934081099","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54ad7cc8-a391-4da8-ac7b-3ac1500b6a3d.jpg?v=1683292437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quid-pro-quo-manna-francis-9781934081099","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
