A killer client. A deal on the line. A murder no one believes happened.
Twisted, darkly funny, and razor-sharp!
Imagine, if you will, James Morrison-a Cadillac of a man, cruising through life with a beautiful wife, picture-perfect home, two-and-a-half kids, and an enviable career. He's only one client away from partnership at Noble, a revered management consulting firm. The problem? His new client might be a crazed killer.
James Morrison is on the brink of everything he's ever wanted-until one eerie night derails it all. A rising star at the elite consulting firm Noble, he's one client away from partnership, with a high-powered job, a beautiful wife, and a picture-perfect home.
But everything changes when James witnesses what looks like a man stabbing someone on a passing train. No body. No news report. Just silence. And the next morning, James meets his newest client-the charming, magnetic Jim Malcolm. The same man he's almost certain he saw holding the knife.
Now, James must navigate the cutthroat world of corporate strategy while keeping his suspicions buried and his ambition alive. But the pressure is mounting. His relentless rival, the Walking PowerPoint Shari Perkins, is also vying for partnership. And watching from the shadows is Tonya Davenport, a shrewd and underestimated transit cop with a Columbo streak-and a growing interest in James's story.
In this darkly comic corporate thriller packed with psychological suspense, razor-sharp satire, and high-stakes mind games, James must decide what's more dangerous: the man he suspects-or the truths he's been avoiding. Because in a world obsessed with power and image, one wrong move could cost him everything.
James & Jim is a masterpiece of an icy thriller about an ambitious innocent. James possesses the manner and power skills of a lord born to rule Wall Street's elite. But when the battle grows deadly, does he lack the bloodless soul to survive? You hope for him, you pray for him, and you fear for him as Moser edges him ever closer to a gilded abyss.
-Justin Scott, author of The Sister Queens, The Shipkiller, and Rampage
Unforgettable. And unclassifiable. James & Jim is a thriller, a fall-down-the-stairs farce, a harrowing expose of a secret world, a comedy of manners, and a fire-and-brimstone morality tale brought to hilarious and horrifying life by the author's wicked sense of humor and bred-in-the-bone sense of ethics.
-Amber Edwards, award-winning documentary filmmaker and co-author of Forty Days and Forty Nights - A Novel of the Mississippi River
Smart, Savage, blazes across the page!
-Anya Liftig, author of Holler Rat
Doug Moser has created a diabolical, unnerving thriller that cleverly captures the price paid for fiendish corporate ambition.
