Attack Decay Sustain Release: A Novel

The synthesizer industry is tanking, but a series of orders from the US Army has buoyed the venerable manufacturer Greene Inc. When a salesman disappears amidst rumors of corruption, analyst George Castle is pressured to return to his old company and give it a clean bill of health before it strikes an international partnership. What follows is a mix of crime and espionage where the most unlikely company faces off against the US military complex. ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN, RELEASE is a work-place thriller of fraud, theft, kidnapping, stakeouts, and adultery. Castle, unassuming and lethally sharp, must resolve rumors of executive corruption. He interrogates and unravels a knot of secret agreements shielded by security walls. With the world behind the music industry lending a humorous strak, readers are taken through a world of gadgetry to rival James Bond's where synths sizzle, pop, and sometimes explode.
