Disclosure

Set in a high-stakes Seattle technology firm, the novel follows Tom Sanders, a manager who is sexually harassed by his former lover and current superior, Meredith Johnson. When Sanders rejects her advances, Johnson retaliates by accusing him of misconduct to derail his career and protect a corporate merger. The story moves through a formal mediation process and a legal defense strategy based on digital evidence. Crichton uses the plot to examine power dynamics in the workplace and the legal definitions of harassment when the traditional gender roles of aggressor and victim are reversed.

This book is for readers interested in how corporate politics and emerging technology intersect with social justice. It appeals to those who want to understand the procedural realities of employment law and the manipulation of institutional policies. The reader gains a perspective on how internal company structures can be used as weapons and leaves with a specific look at how objective data and internal emails function as primary evidence in modern legal disputes.

Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
