Full description for Lorraine Connection

  • When a cathode ray tube factory in a small French town is hit first by a strike and then by a suspicious fire, the battle for the takeover of the plant's beleaguered parent company heats up. The Lorraine factory is at the center of a strategic battle being played out in Paris, Brussels, and Asia for the takeover of the ailing state-owned electronics giant Thomson.

He soon uncovers explosive revelations and a trail of murders, dirty tricks, blackmail, and corporate malfeasance.
