An example of the supreme art of war – how to subdue the enemy without fighting Vincent de Vries is the Senior Vice President of Stanhope and Sons. It is a company strategy to set up a crack, multidisciplinary teams that are small and nimble and help fulfil the fantasy of every investment banker – to retire at forty. Vincent's team is made up of Sam, whose wife spends his money faster than he can earn it; Jules, a lawyer who has a drug and alcohol addiction; Sylvie, who was a catwalk model as a teenager and Lucy, a computer nerd with Goth tendencies and an obvious inability to connect socially. Sara Hall is hired as an analyst for the team. She has two degrees, including an MBA, with a major in corporate finance and investment banking. She has yet to learn that you become addicted to the salary, that success becomes your heroin but that it is killing you softly, not to mention the brutal hours at work, the backroom machinations and the constant stress that is a continuous undercurrent of your life. The team has recently failed to secure two deals in a row and are called for an escape room challenge, the results of which would be used for internal consultations about internal staff planning. They will be locked in a room and have to solve many clues to get out. They work together, usually spend more time together than apart, they know each other better than they know themselves, know each other’s secrets and lies …… and they despise each other. This was one of those books that you cannot put down because you need to know what is going to happen next. I would highly recommend it, the twist of the ending is something that I did not foresee, and it blew me away. Saphira Breakaway Reviewers received a copy of the book to review.
