Unfinished Business is to the Publishing Industry what The Player is to the Movie Business: an entertaining novel about life, love and revenge in Publishing by an industry insider.
Mike is a literary agent with high standards and a passion for great writing. He is equally discriminating in matters of the heart and ready to fall in love. But when his best client sacks him and his hopes of marriage are dashed, Mike begins to fall apart. Emotionally reeling, he seeks respite in the beautiful wilderness of the Black Mountains, only to discover that his old flame, Madelin, and her husband now live there too. Drawn into the midst of their marital crisis, his humiliation is perfected as the superfluous middle man. But when a top agent suggests a plot to restore his fortunes, Mike begins to come alive again. It looks like love and achievement might be his at last – if he is prepared to do the wrong thing, and do it ruthlessly.

About the Author:

Review:
Like Martin Amis at his funniest -- Amanda Craig Conrad Williams is a shrewd and gifted writer whose sentences have musicality and confidence. I find him a great pleasure to read -- Joseph O'Connor Williams is a delightfully Eloquent Observer * Time Out * Williams writes with easy grace and an evocative turn of phrase...he is exceptionally perceptive * Independent * Williams goes to the heart of the creative condition * Sunday Telegraph * Unfinished Business rivets ... an engrossing story reminiscent of John Irving's The World According to Garp -- Lou Aguilar * Miami Herald *
