The Silent Sentry (Paperback, New edition)

Maurice Reid is a radio producer. He spends his days alone in his dark office communicating only by e-mail. His doctor ascribes this malaise to the constant changes Maurice has been facing at work. The Corporation is being streamlined and Maurice is beginning to wonder if there's still a place for him. There's certainly no room for him at home. H is wife is living with another woman; his son is confused. And his gir lfriend has come back from Brazil with an ultimatum. He seeks solace a t work in the camaraderie of his battle-scarred colleagues, some still struggling to produce serious radio, others, like his editor 'Peculia r' Edwards, hatching suicidal schemes to bring the Corporation down ar ound their heads.

THE SILENT SENTRY is a heartbreakingly funny novel a bout how a large organisation is defined by the people who work in it - and the perils for both sides if that goes unacknowledged.
