COUNTERPUNCH – Maryl Morgan Marks: Book 1. This is the first book in the Maryl Morgan Marks series about a strong career woman in a man's world, navigating the world of betrayal and narcissism in the high tech arena in the 1980s.
Maryl Morgan Marks jumps into the gritty pounding city of Philadelphia after a chance meeting leads her to a booming high-tech startup job far from her sleepy Seattle suburb. There she is shocked into the reality of power, greed, and start-up speed in the high-stakes world of the 1980s.
Grappling with an inherited friend group, dubious business ethics, and the new definition of corporate success, her journey is a tug-of-war between her higher self and wanting retribution for the misogyny and narcissism engulfing her.
In a world where power is the ultimate currency, can Maryl's inner strength withstand the allure of vengeance? And in the end, are justice and revenge so different?
