When a cathode ray tube factory in a small French town is hit first by a strike and then by a suspicious fire, the battle for the take-over of the plant's beleaguered parent company heats up. The Lorraine factory is at the centre of a strategic battle being played out in Paris, Brussels, and Asia for the take-over of the ailing state-owned electronics giant Thomson. Accusations of foul play fly, and rival contender Alcatel calls in its intrepid head of security Charles Montoya to investigate. He soon uncovers explosive revelations and a trail of murders, dirty tricks, blackmail, and corporate malfeasance.
