The AI Analyst

Patrick Brennan is a technology industry analyst who knows the key players in Silicon Valley, what they're working on and with whom. His former boss and longtime mentor, Barry Roman, charismatic billionaire CEO of Polestar, a major AI/automation firm, is missing.

Patrick offers to use his industry knowledge and history with Barry to assist FBI and local detectives on the case. The investigative team quickly finds that Barry has as many enemies as friends. Suspects include his estranged wife, a disgruntled former executive, Chinese intelligence, the Mob, and many more.

Has Barry been kidnapped, murdered, or gone rogue? With Polestar stock up and down like a yo-yo, each passing hour increases odds they'll never see Barry again. With Patrick urging creative thinking and his wife Maya receiving threats, suspicion grows that Patrick himself may be the "fox in the henhouse" - the mastermind behind Barry's disappearance.

Written by Silicon Valley veterans, this mystery exposes the seamier side of the technology sector. It takes readers on a fast paced ride from the waterfront in Tampa Bay where Patrick is based, to the spectacular estates of tech titans, down Highway 280 through wildfire smoke and the even foggier jargon of Silicon Valley.
