False Profits

In her stylish and suspenseful "Los Angeles Times" bestselling debut, Smiley introduces a heroine caught up in a roller-coaster adventure, where living by the law of the corporate jungle makes her fair game for a cutthroat killer.

Smiley's prose is like butter, and she depicts her major and minor characters with a keen eye for the telling detail (a human resources manager's pageboy haircut is "black and heavy-handed and seemed better suited for someone with a pierced tongue") while the plot hums along like Tucker in her snazzy Porsche Boxster. These elements plus a rich mélange of supporting characters make for an amusing and satisfying read.
