Disclosure is a 1994 crime novel written by Michael Crichton.Tom Sanders is the head of advanced products manufacturing at the fictional high-tech company DigiCom. He is so sure that he is going to be promoted to run the advanced products division after DigiCom's merger with a publishing house. Unfortunately for him, Meredith Johnson, his ex-girlfriend, gets the promotion. Then, she calls Tom into her office, ostensibly to discuss an advanced CD-ROM drive. But it turns out that she wants to resume their relationship, and she gives Tom aggressive sexual advances, which leads him to spurn her advances. She promises to make him pay. She makes good on that threat by falsely accusing him of sexual harassment. Now Tom must do something to fix this before it's too late.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This book got a film adaptation in 1994.

Bittersweet Ending: While Tom's name is cleared and he manages to keep his job while Phil and Meredith are fired, the DigiCom merger ultimately doesn't go through and Tom doesn't get the promotion he was hoping fornote At least, not yet, as Kaplan hints she won't be holding the position for very long and that she thinks Tom ought to succeed her. Meanwhile, despite being fired in disgrace, both Phil and Meredith are able to find employment in other companies, Ed Nichols gets early retirement and a consulting job out of Nassau, and even Constance Walsh gets an out-of-court settlement after suing for wrongful termination and sexual discrimination.

Beware the Quiet Ones: Everyone at DigiCom fears CFO Stephanie "Stealth Bomber" Kaplan, who has the power to kill anyone's project with nary a word of warning. When she does speak, she proves to have sharp insight into everything going on around her. As we later learn, though, she's most effective when she operates from the shadows.
