What Remains Behind is a contemporary novel based on a true but little-known practice employed by some large American corporations. It is not uncommon for them to take out life insurance policies on highly valued employees, naming the company as the beneficiary. The novel explores the scenario that a company in financial trouble might be willing to sacrifice its personnel for fiscal salvation. In these days of Tyco and Enron, the idea does not seem so far-fetched. It is a tale of suspense, conspiracy and intrigue.
