D&O Puts RMs On Hot Seat

I just finished reading a thriller fashioned around what the book jacket describes as the “most exciting and dangerous game of all making money.” Published in 1995, “The Takeover” features protagonist Andrew Falcon, who becomes the linchpin in the largest corporate takeover in history. Besides pushing him to the top of his game, the deal will earn him a cool $5 million fee.

But the voices keep nagging at the back of his head. There's something not quite right about the deal little details that he chooses to subordinate to the dreams of what hell do with $5 million and the future power and influence the deal will bring him.
