Book description
It was a junket, a freebie. A 'team-building' weekend in the highlands
for lawyers, advertising execs, businessmen, even the head of a charity.
Oh, and a journalist, specially solicited for his renowned and voluble
scepticism - Jack Parlabane. Amid the flying paintballs and flowing
Shiraz even the most cynical admit the organisers have pulled some
surprises - stalkers in the forest, power cuts in the night, mass mobile
phone thefts, disappearing staff, disappearing guests: there's nothing
can bring out people's hidden strengths or break down inter-personal
barriers quite like not having a clue what's going on and being scared
out of your wits. However, when the only vehicular access for thirty
miles is cut off it seems that events are being orchestrated not just
for pleasure … And that's before they find the first body. Thereafter,
'finding out who your colleagues really are' is not so much an end
product as the key to reaching Monday morning alive. Visit the author's
