Synopsis
"Your career profile could be of interest to us. Would you please get in touch?" Jerome Carceville finds it impossible to resist such an e-mail, especially when the invitation comes from De Wavre International, one of the top head-hunting organizations in the world. He applies, and after undergoing a variety of searching interviews and high-level tests, he is eventually selected for a decisive final examination. The fifteen talented and driven finalists arrive at a hotel on an island in the middle of an Alpine lake. Only two of them have any realistic chance of the job, and when Del Rieco, the "games-master", informs them that the nature of the contest is simulated economic warfare, that their only weapons will be a computer and some strategic information, and that their competitors must be eliminated, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary recruitment drive...Frenetic, ingenious and totally up-to-the-minute, Michel Crespy has written the first thriller to prize open the competitive jungle of the corporate world.
