In the world of tech-consulting, not all employers and staffing companies play by the rules. Charlie O'Neal discovers this truth when his project manager unintentionally reveals the terms and conditions of his contract. Enraged and furious, he seeks revenge. This time, Charlie decides not to back down from the bullies, and he carefully plots his revenge.He meets with one of The Three Musketeers, as the employees refer to the executives running the staffing company, and is introduced to Sir Archibald, the cat of Heinz Conrad. Charlie is scared stiff when he realizes that he may just be working for the person responsible for the most tragic event in his past. When he immigrated to the USA, he tried to leave behind the memories about his past and the mysterious Sir Archibald, but it seems to have been following him all the time.This 110-thousand word fictional mystery and suspense novel is a page turner. The story is so real, when you have read it, the first question you will ask is: Is this real? The self publishing author will smile at you and say: Who will really know? A friend on facebook asked me one day What is the book about? Below is my answer back to him.First of all, remember it is fiction!! It is a mystery and suspense novel, with crime, murder, fraud, schemes and all the makings for a good story. Although people who know me will think different once they have read the book. I used some of my personal experiences from living in a dormitory for five years in high school, being in the South African military, living on campus at university and my first job at a bank to make the story more realistic. Naturally having been in the military, I had to open the book with a black Mercedes being blown to pieces when it strikes a landmine.The story takes place mostly in the USA where Charlie O'Neal lives and work as an IT consultant. He is outraged when he discovers how he and his co-workers, mostly immigrants like him, are being exploited by their employer. In his search for answers and the truth, he is faced with his own past that he tried to forget. The painful memories that drove him out of South Africa includes a secret bank account. The only question is, is the money really his? But then, there is also the mysterious Sir Archibald from his past that he has to consider? Who is he? Is he working for him? How does the cat fit into the story? I cannot really say more without giving away to much of the book. You will have to read it.
