Produktbeschreibung
A corporate executive who has fallen from grace seizes an opportunity to salvage his career with the help of his ambitious wife in this gripping, psychologically astute New York Times-bestselling novel from the author of Executive Suite The keys to Lincoln Lord's success have always been his charm and amiability. He has been president of five different companies and serves as chairman for the White House's Far East Trade Mission. But now, just shy of fifty, he is no longer considered the boy wonder of business. He's unemployable. He and his wife, Maggie, have been forced to move out of their suite in Manhattan's Waldorf Tower and they have yet to pay this semester's tuition for their seventeen-year-old son's private school. Then Lincoln is thrown a lifeline. Coastal Foods, a struggling cannery in New Jersey, needs a top executive to help get the company back on its feet. For the first time, Lincoln feels a part of something bigger than himself. And when he and Maggie are drawn into a major crisis at the plant, his leadership position is no longer just a job-or a steppingstone to the next one. It's a means of reclaiming his pride, his family, and his humanity.
Autorenporträt
Cameron Hawley (1905-1969) was simultaneously a businessman who rose through the ranks to become a top executive at Armstrong Cork Company and a prolific author of short stories and articles, which frequently appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Life, and Good Housekeeping. In his midforties, he decided to devote all of his time to writing. The result was Executive Suite, the bestselling, iconic novel about the dynamic men and women who work at the highest levels of corporate America. Executive Suite was produced as a 1954 motion picture that starred William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck, and was nominated for four Academy Awards. Hawley continued to focus on the themes of free enterprise, big-business adventurers, and the pressures of modern life in his later novels: Cash McCall, which was made into a 1960 film starring James Garner and Natalie Wood; The Lincoln Lords; and The Hurricane Years. Hawley lived for many years on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he enjoyed hunting and fly-fishing.
