Rising Sun: Michael Crichton

On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto Tower in L.A., the new American headquarters of the immense Japanese conglomerate, a grand opening celebration is in full swing. On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the dead body of a beautiful young woman is discovered. The investigation begins and immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisted maze of industrial intrigue - a no-holds-barred conflict in which control of a vital piece of American technology is the fiercely coveted prize - and the Japanese saying Business is War takes on a terrifying reality.
