Because he shares the same passion for Wagner and a strong sense of cultural superiority, Antoine de Linote is hired by the president of Fersen, the largest consulting company in Paris. Thus begins Antoine s crash course in the rituals of this high profile business. Lavishly expensive suits, designer ties, six figure salaries, unlimited expense accounts and a profound disdain for the weak. He learns that blind obedience to those more powerful than himself is the only way to climb the ladder and that the men at the top have developed devious ways to rid themselves of undesirables in the company.

Antoine learns to play the game well but with a certain innocence that protects him from his colleagues most devious manoeuvres. His youth and classical education give him sufficient leverage to observe and punish the arrogant cronies surrounding his boss. His powerful attraction to Eva, a consultant who really shouldn t be with Fersen, will be the deciding factor whether he enters the upper spheres of the arrogant few or the lower castes of the submissive.

Vincent Petitet was born in 1972. After studying politics and sociology at French university and at Harvard, he lands a job as consultant with the president of Arthur Andersen. In 2003 he presented a remarkable doctorate thesis on consulting to ENS.
