The mystery novel visits the corporate world, bringing a fresh voice to the classic detective novel.

"A smooth noir vibe, and the additional wrinkle of an unreliable sidekick adds delicious tension to a plot that unfolds with a satisfying series of twists."
Kirkus Reviews

Chuck Restic, HR manager and part-time private investigator, has a problem: the consultant guru Julie St. Jean is the bane of his existence. Over his twenty-year HR career, he's been forced to partner with her on inane employee engagement programs whose only value has been to Julie's sizable bank account. When Julie is suddenly wanted for the murder of an associate, Chuck sees his chance to rid himself of her forever, until the corporate tables are turned on him and he must find the elusive figure or risk losing his job. The search uncovers a dark past of murder and stolen identity. And what begins as a search to save his corporate neck soon turns into one a lot more literal.

About the author

ADAM WALKER PHILLIPS is a 20-year corporate veteran and the author of the Chuck Restic Mystery Series.

When he’s not writing, Phillips draws on two decades of PowerPoint decks, offsite retreats, and cross-functional teams to fuel his sardonic take on corporate life. That firsthand experience shapes the series' portrayal of a burnt-out HR man who moonlights as a private detective.

Adam lives in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles with his wife and children.
