Company man / a novel by Joseph Finder.

Finder, Joseph. (Author).

Summary:

Nick Conover has risen from working-class origins to the position of CEO of a metal-bending company in a Grand Rapids-like town in Michigan. He has also fallen from the status of well-liked employer to that of despised boss, thanks to layoffs and outsourcing. As the book opens, Conover is dealing with personal as well as business crisis: he's a recent widower, with a preteen daughter and a teenage son, both with a palimpsest of problems; meanwhile, his house is regularly broken into and spray-painted with the words "No Hiding Place." His life keeps sinking: a deranged man breaks into the house, Conover kills him, and his longtime pal talks him into burying the body. More sickeningly suspenseful tail-diving follows, as police work demonically to tie Conover to the homicide.
