First edition. Very fine in dust jacket. Burke Devore loses his job because of corporate downsizing. Eighteen months later and still without a job, he's desperate and there's one likely prospective job for him, but there are seven other candidates for the same job. In order to enhance his chances to get the job he embarks on a plan of murder against each of the other prospective job candidates. Innovative story and much to ponder about today's corporate down-sizing.
