  <default_description>Adam Cassidy is twenty-six and a low-level employee at a high-tech corporation who hates his job. When he manipulates the system to do something nice for a friend, he finds himself charged with a crime. Corporate Security gives him a choice: prison&#8212;or become a spy in the headquarters of their chief competitor, Trion Systems. 

They train him. They feed him inside information. Now, at Trion, he's a star, skyrocketing to the top. He finds he has talents he never knew he possessed. He's rich, drives a Porsche, lives in a fabulous apartment, and works directly for the CEO. He's dating the girl of his dreams. 

His life is perfect. And all he has to do to keep it that way is betray everyone he cares about and everything he believes in. 

But when he tries to break off from his controllers, he finds he's in way over his head, trapped in a world in which nothing is as it seems and no one can really be trusted. 

And then the real nightmare begins. . . .

    <body><![CDATA[Finder's style initially put me off. His style is distinct from other writers in this genre. I would say quirky and off-beat. A dark thread of humor runs through his work. Paranoia was my first exposure to Finder. About 100 pages in, I nearly stopped for good. But, I persisted and am glad I did.

I didn't know enough about it to do anything but add it as a &quot;just in case you've got nothing to listen to&quot; kind of book.<br/><br/>But, wow....<br/><br/>If you're looking for a mystery with intens...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67055905">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Reader reviews of this work tend to emphasize the twist ending and the suspense. I wish there were a rating lower than one star. This is the tale of a pathetic, amoral, loser who finds himself blackmailed by his company's CEO after embezzling from the company to pay for a friend's retirement party. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64302779">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Paranoia was a fun thriller to read.  It afforded me many laughs at may own expense, as a Product Manager in a high-tech company. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of depth in the plot - Finder sets you up for a plot twist, and the twist just isn't that great.  There doesn't seem to be much depth...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43480602">more...</a>]]></body>
