A dead slumlord, stolen nerve gas, an AI bot with an agenda.
The connection? Hotrod builder Jack Dyle is hired to find out, but he has his own reason-a legacy of murder points to deadly deeds from his own past.
His first probe into victim Gabe Cooley's life before death raises the same questions federal analyst Minnie Glover raised at the funeral:
- How did Gabe afford a Beverly Hills mansion?
- Which Russian disappeared on a Mexican yacht cruise?
- Whose AI is staging black ops from a Long Beach warehouse?
- What are we doing after dinner, Jack?
When New York syndicate boss Roman Valenti intervenes, Jack only digs harder and finds out Gabe was selling contraband VX nerve gas. But for whose war? And where?
Jack faces a secret army that's been building for years. With no time to call in defense support, he plays a long shot. If he's right, he'll outsmart a machine with the IQ of 1,000 Einsteins. If he isn't, Los Angeles will go full-toxic wasteland.
