Not since The Firm has a novel dared to explode the dark underside of the corporate world… .

Evil Inc

A new novel by a Madison Avenue insider, Evil Inc is thrilling fiction woven from the facts of the hottest issues in the business world today. Readers will find it daring, outrageous, unthinkable—but, upon reflection, frighteningly possible. It will leave you wondering: How far will some executives go to seize the corner office? Can you trust your CEO? Do you work for a real-life Evil Inc?

Evil Inc will make you ask yourself…

Could a psychopath become a CEO?
Could a mass murder become the ultimate corporate scandal?
Can anything stop skyrocketing CEO compensation?
Could corrupt business kingpins literally get away with murder?
What dark secrets are hidden between the lines of corporate-speak?
Is the national news media literally in bed with big business?
Do respectable companies have secret connections to the international underworld of violence, murder, and destruction?

“Evil Inc is a fast-paced thriller that entertains,” says author Glenn Kaplan, “but it also serves as a cautionary tale about how Corporate America is becoming indifferent to the human consequences of its business decisions. Luckily, most executives don’t perceive it as cost-effective to literally kill off the employees they want to layoff. But you wonder if one day it could come to that.”

Glenn is available to discuss:

How you can detect if you work for a real-life Evil Inc.
Signs you may be working for a “killer” boss.
Whether a corporate culture is good or evil.
Who or what is to blame for the spate of morally bankrupt CEOs.
Whether anyone can rise up the corporate ladder honestly.

Evil Inc exposes our deepest fears and suspicions about the world of big business, including:

How an evil CEO can take a company and run it into the ground for personal gain.
Why the employees can be the last thought on a CEO’s mind, but always come up first when it comes to making cuts.
How deep can lies and greed in the boardroom run?
Have technology, overseas accounts, and corporate security staff that resemble mercenary armies created a dark, dangerous underside of international business?

“Perhaps the employee handbook should come with a copy of the penal code,” suggests Glenn. “We see people in real life that put no limits on what they will do to get what they want. Evil Inc explores just how far a few of those individuals might go in the corporate world of today.”
