In the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley, genius can be deadly—and the most advanced AI ever created just became evidence in a murder case.
Tech billionaire Nathan Ryder had everything: a revolutionary artificial intelligence system worth billions, military contracts that could reshape modern warfare, and a lakeside mansion that screamed success. Now he's dead in his home office, and someone has stolen the technology that could make or break national security.
For Detective Celia Mendonca, this isn't just her first major homicide—it's a baptism by fire into the dark side of innovation.
Working alongside seasoned Chief Detective Hector Ramirez and the elite Washoe County investigative team, Celia discovers that Ryder's murder is just the tip of a deadly iceberg. Project Prometheus, the AI system Ryder died protecting, doesn't just process data—it predicts human behavior with terrifying accuracy. In the wrong hands, it could enable mass surveillance, autonomous weapons, and the end of privacy as we know it.
But when the killer can manipulate digital evidence and erase their tracks with military-grade precision, traditional detective work isn't enough.
As Celia digs deeper into Reno's glittering tech corridor, she uncovers a web of corporate espionage, stolen intellectual property, and billion-dollar betrayals. Every digital trace could be authentic evidence—or a carefully planted lie designed to send the investigation down a deadly path.
With corporate assassins closing in and foreign governments circling like vultures, the team races against time to solve a murder that threatens to expose America's most classified military secrets. Someone killed Nathan Ryder to control the future of artificial intelligence, and they'll eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth.
In a world where your smartphone knows you better than your family does, can three detectives track a killer who's always one algorithm ahead?
From Daniel Pelfrey comes another pulse-pounding entry in the Hector Ramirez thriller series. Perfect for readers who love Michael Crichton's techno-thrillers, John Sandford's procedurals, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens when cutting-edge technology meets cold-blooded murder.
Order now and discover why readers are calling this "the techno-thriller that feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines."
