Over two-hundred
people are killed in a terrible fire in a clothing factor in
Bangladesh. Cameron Alexander, General Council of the Presto
Corporation, is upset by the horror of the fire, but when he sees a
young girl lying on the ground with a pair of pants covering her
face, pants that were destined for Presto stores, he knows there’s
trouble ahead.
The pants were being
manufactured in a factory that Presto’s supply chain was not
supposed to use. At first Cameron thinks his company is in the clear,
but as he begins to explore the company’s supply chains, he
realizes that something is dreadfully wrong. Something he must acts on to
preserve the corporation.
This book is a
novel, but it also exposes the abuses in clothing factories in
Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Jordan. The story is interesting. Cameron
is a driven character who tries to act for the best, but finds that
he must cross lines that could lead to serious consequences for
himself and for Presto.
The exposure of
working conditions in third world countries is very well done. The
novel keeps you reading, but the investigation of the clothing
industry is the most interesting part of the book. It is almost as if
the novel was written for the purpose of exposing the dreadful
working conditions.
I enjoyed the book
and recommend it if you enjoy a good story with believable
characters. The descriptions of the terrible conditions in the
factories that produce our clothing are sobering. It’s good to know
what is happening to the people who produce our luxuries.
I received this book
from Booklook Bloggers for this review.
