A New Brand of Thriller...

Caught in an economic conspiracy, an unsuspecting hero must expose the corruption destroying the American dream in this high octane ride of corporate deceit, murder for hire, and cunning manipulation.

The Insiders by acclaimed international bestselling author Craig Hickman does something altogether original, and genius. Part deference to the American dream, part economic conspiracy with a shocking twist, part knock down, drag out, high-octane entertainment, this novel is spellbinding fury and long overdue.

Wilson Fielder is an unsuspecting hero. A rising star at a prestigious management consulting firm, he has challenged more than a few overbearing corporate titans, but it is not until there is an attempt on his father's life that he is forced to take it to the street.

His father is none other than Charles Fielder, a brilliant businessman who founded an exclusive club of the world's most powerful CEOs that has unparalleled perks such as limitless legal protection and unimaginable personal wealth, not to mention lavish retreats, sexual favors, and access to the world's deadliest contract killers. It is the ultimate insiders club—a complex web of insider trading, back scratching and, inevitably, backstabbing.

Ultimately, Wilson uncovers his father's real agenda for leveling the playing field and vows to finish the job, but only to meet the iron fist of Wayland Tate who is backed by international wealthy elite and will stop at nothing to destroy his opponents. In the end, Wilson must win this battle not only to avenge his father, but for all of us.
