Bestselling author Deborah Moggach, who captures mood through careful choice of detail and has a deft sense of the grotesque (James McNamara, The New York Times Book Review) delivers an extremely powerful novel about the consequences of greed and deceit in her gripping page-turner Final Demand.Natalie is a girl who should be going somewhere. Although beautiful, bright, and ambitious, shes stuck in a dead-end job in the accounts department of a telecommunications company, living her life through wild weekends and yearning for something more. While processing the final notice payments on customers accounts, Natalie devises a simple little scam that could change her life in a major way. And since its only a minor crime-nobodys going to get hurt- she doesnt hesitate to follow through her scheme.But when Natalies selfish actions have tragic consequences, she learns theres no such thing as a victimless crime. A cautionary tale that captures the soulless sign of the times (Jerry Broton, New York Times bestselling author), Final Demand is a beautifully written, emotionally taut story about the battle between love, envy, and misguided aspirations, and our own frailty in the face of temptation.
