2004 BROOKMYRE, CHRISTOPHER. BE MY ENEMY. [London]: Little, Brown, [2004]. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. It was a freebie. A "team-building" weekend in the highlands for lawyers, businessmen, the head of a charity, and Jack Parlabane, a journalist. Amid the flying paint balls and flowing wine, even the most cynical admit the organizers have pulled some surprises. For example, stalkers in the woods, power cuts in the night, mass mobile phone thefts, disappearing staff and guests. There's nothing that can bring out people's hidden strengths or weaknesses like not having a clue as to what's going on and being scared out of your mind. When the only vehicular access for thirty miles is cut off, it seems that events are being planned not just for fun. That's before they find the first body. Thereafter, "finding out who your colleagues really are" is not so much an end product as the key to reaching Monday morning alive.
