For the past couple of years, transportation tech firm Journy has been the hottest thing in Silicon Valley, making money hand over fist for its founders, investors, and executives. So when Journy's founder and CEO is found murdered in his office, it sends shockwaves through the tech industry, especially once it's revealed that the murdered man had changed his will a week beforehand, freezing all his assets until someone was on trial for his murder. As personal investigator for one of Journy's biggest investors, Mackenzie Clyde is put on the case with the FBI to find the murderer and unfreeze those assets, which include nearly $20 billion in shares. But as Mackenzie and the FBI dig into the case, they learn that there is a lot more to the murder than your average jealousy or greed, and this investigation will definitely not be a safe one.
This is a fast-paced and twisty tale that plays on all sorts of assumptions and stereotypes, urging the reader to follow the money while keeping us guessing. I'm not usually much of a thriller reader, but this one is as solid as they come. Hard to believe this is a debut novel, and I can't wait to see what Kerr comes up with next.
