Om den här ljudboken

Charles Paris, an out-of-work actor, takes a star gig as a forklift driver in a Delmoleen Company corporate video. Something about Delmoleen is deeply troubling to Charles. That “happy family” facade may be just that. Mockery, jealousy, lust, envy, they all seem to be pervasive. Still, the work is easy and the money is good; it's even fun learning to manipulate a forklift. But it's a responsibility too, as Charles soon discovers: a forklift can be made into a potent murder weapon.
