Summary

by JACK RAYMOND

A routine job turns into a nightmare. A lawyer becomes a target.

Insurance lawyer Alex Thorkild is supposed to simply inspect a €50 million asset in a secluded high-tech estate – a straightforward job at the end of his much-needed vacation. But the asset is Prometheus, the world's most advanced artificial intelligence. When a bizarre experiment ends in a deadly catastrophe, Alex goes from investigator to prime suspect – and target.

Hunted by a ruthless team of mercenaries and betrayed by the people he should trust most, he begins a desperate escape through the wilderness. His only hope is an unlikely alliance with a mysterious spy and the brilliant creator of the AI. But as they fight for survival, Alex realizes that far more than stolen technology is at stake. It's a weapon that could plunge the world into chaos.

In a race against time, a man whose only weapon so far has been the fine print in contracts must win a game whose rules he doesn't know. Because in this game, he is the decisive disruptive factor.

    No Good Deed Goes Unpunished 
    The war in Vietnam didn’t kill Peter O’Keefe. Neither did his run-in with ruthless crime boss "Mr. Canada" in the Arizona desert. But chasing after justice in his own hometown just might. 
    A year after the private detective uncovered a criminal ring disguised as a mink farm in the Ozarks, O’Keefe is back home and back in trouble. A high school crush of O’Keefe’s turns up dead, but the details don’t add up. His pal, Mike Harrigan, has put his trust in the wrong people and now stands accused of crimes that could put him in the slammer. And O’Keefe? The mafia has put a price on his head. 
    In their search for the truth, O’Keefe and his team will have to venture into the criminal underworld of their city, each step forward bringing them closer to the edge. As trouble begins creeping closer to home, O’Keefe must decide if he’s willing to pay the cost of justice — before someone else makes the decision for him.
