The Flack - Brad Parks

. .

Résumé :

His final warning: Don't take the job. Just run.

Curt Hinton and Angel Reddish are like a Hollywood buddy flick come to life: former college roommates turned lifelong best friends who always have each other's backs. So when Angel offers Curt the chance to leave his job at a failing newspaper and take a lucrative position as head of corporate communications at Balco, the Bay Area Logistics Company, Curt takes the leap.

Nothing bad can happen with Angel at his side.

That illusion is shattered on Curt's first day at Balco, when he learns that Angel was killed the night before during a carjacking. Tasked with writing a press release about the crime, Curt quickly discovers the carjacking wasn't random--it was a targeted attack by professional killers.

Who would murder Angel? And why? The Oakland Police don't have any answers. Neither does the FBI. As Curt is drawn into the mystery of his best friend's death, he discovers there are many possible suspects--and that there's a lot more danger swirling around his new employer than he could have ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Jodi Picoult
