[Author Spotlight] JOSEPH FINDER

Whether novelist Joseph Finder is exploring the relationship of powerful American businessmen to the Kremlin; KGB infiltration of the CIA; or corporate espionage, his writing is always provocative and timely.
Bookreporter.com features several interviews in which Finder shares specifics about the inspirations for and the crafting of his best-selling, stand-alone thrillers.
His latest is KILLER INSTINCT (St. Martin's Press, 2006). Jason Steadman, a struggling young sales executive, gets help moving up the corporate ladder from Kurt Semko, a ruthless, former Special Forces officer. Can Jason put a stop to Semko's deadly "tactics"?
Finder's website includes a description of Killer Instinct and its backstory or inspiration.
