Come into corporate America where John McCall, a brilliant Vice President of Finances is directed to affect a dramatic corporate downsizing & where murder, revenge & suicide ensue.

“Confronting one of the most consequential issues of our time, Involuntary Separation compels us to see what really motivates corporate downsizings & why we must stop them if we expect our great society to survive.”

The very loyalty which once ensured a lifetime of employment is now the very thing that will assure unemployment because money, corporate money, is really the only thing on the bottom line.

Rick Lacey has written of what he knows, having been involuntarily separated from BP Oil. He decided to get the word out in a mystery novel about this form of corporate slaughter. I think Rick Lacey made his point. This is a hard book to read; first because of the quality of the writing--just about every “no-no” is present, however, the subject matter is important & the reading does get better as the story progresses.

If the subject & the politics of corporate downsizing intrigues you, you will find Involuntary Separation quite interesting.
