About Emperors’ Clothes by Catherine McGuinness
Part cautionary tale, part farce, Emperors’ Clothes tells the story of two executives and one mob boss who put a Sopranos’ style spin on corporate strategy.
Stewart Narciss, whose accomplished father prefers the company of his hairless cats to that of his only son, equates executive status with self-worth. To impress the movers and shakers, Stewart hooks his career to the rising power of human resources. Unfortunately for the employees on his watch, lying prostrate before his cold-fish father is the closest this executive comes to touchy feely. As his efforts to bond with his father, and his company’s CEO, are rebuffed, Stewart manipulates the succession process at TMC, assuring his place as consiglieri to a future boss.
Enter Carol Himmler, a beautiful yet ruthless executive who chews up employees with the indifference of a wild animal eating her young. When a chemical spill results from workforce cuts she made, Carol hires mobster Sal Scruci to make the problem go away. Only problem is Scruci never goes away. All hell breaks loose when Sal reinvents himself as an executive talent scout–not a guy who takes no for an answer.
As self-centered agendas drive shortsighted decisions, TMC Corporation heads down a bumpy road–and everything from carefully cultivated allegiances to personal integrity suffers.
Emperors’ Clothes is a rollicking tale told with trenchant wit and insight, leaving readers to wonder who’s really the bad guy and if the emperors ever had any clothes.

Shortly after his arrival in the small town of Porterville, Texas, Jack Nelson meets a stranger who claims that they’ve been friends for over a month. A waitress in the diner across the street from his motel recognizes Jack and tells him that he’s been eating at her restaurant for two months.
When Jack discovers irrefutable evidence that the last several months of his life have been erased from his memory, he begins to suspect that he’s a subject of a mind-manipulation experiment conducted by a secret organization. Why did they choose him? What’s the ultimate goal of the experiment? Are they going to dispose of him in the end?
His investigation into the dark secrets of Porterville is complicated by the disappearance of his friend Alice Briggs, who he believes invited him to this town. Jack soon realizes that he can trust no one. As he slips further into delusion, it’s up to his wife to bring him back to sanity. To do this, she’ll have to confront a powerful evil entity thriving on death and human suffering.
