Former intelligence officer—turned—novelist Joseph Finder has signed a new two-book deal, worth seven figures, with St. Martin's Press editor Keith Kahla. Finder's previous thrillers center on crime in the corporate world (Paranoia; High Crimes), and the new ones are no exception. The first is Company Man, the story of a CEO fighting a conspiracy on two fronts: to sell out his company from under him, and to frame him for murder in the death of a man who had been stalking his family. The deal was signed with Molly Friedrich at the Aaron Priest agency.
