Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

The second novel by acclaimed author Ben Rogers is a digital thriller. A hotshot Silicon Valley programmer teams up with a Mexican drug cartel in this literary mash-up of art and science. Vik Singh has developed a lucrative app for drug dealers, and now both the DEA and the cartel are hunting him. Narrated by Vik's girlfriend, Remi, the story grapples with America's insatiable hunger for drugs and the human toll it takes. We witness a young man confronting his artistic pride and a young couple trying to make up for past betrayals.

Synopsis

Silicon Valley prodigy meets Mexican Drug Cartel...

In the San Francisco Bay Area, tech innovation is king, and the only ethnicity is "entrepreneur."

Vik Singh watches his immigrant parents work their fingers to the bone chasing the American Dream. But standing at his father's funeral, he realizes one thing - hustling will get him nowhere. All he needs to get rich is one big, disruptive idea.

When he meets Los, a small-time drug lord with visions of grandeur, Vik makes a play worthy of Jobs and Zuckerberg.

He designs a drug sale app.

From his cottage in Lake Tahoe, Vik writes code that shapes a new cocaine empire. When his app attracts an infamous drug cartel boss, it seems like a natural expansion move. And for a while, life is Swiss bank accounts, luxe coke parties, and falling in love with a ballsy woman with secrets of her own.

Until he discovers he is being watched.

The DEA is closing in, the cartel is losing faith, and Vik can trust no one. As the noose around him tightens, Vik discovers the true cost of dirty money.

Is he ready to die for his big idea? To kill for it?

Fans of Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, and Dark Mirror, this is your new binge
