Murder and manslaughter

A thriller written by a marketing professor and a managing director of an advertising agency. Schütz and Kroth tell the story of a hostile company takeover in which no prisoners are taken. They do this with a lot of black humor; they skillfully and pointedly caricature the perpetrators and victims. Everyone gets their comeuppance, everyone gets their turn - sooner or later, but at exactly the right time - when staff are cut again. And without a social plan ... The story is probably fictional, but sometimes so close to reality that the laughter sticks in your throat.
