About This Book

Odd Man In is available for preorder. It will ship on or before its release date of February 16, 2027. 

In Silicon Valley’s shadows, where blood ties are liabilities and enemies come in billion-dollar packages, the only thing deadlier than a secret is the truth.

A sniper’s bullets shatter the fragile peace of Portola Valley, turning a privileged playground into a deadly chessboard. Marty Chevalier walks out of federal prison straight into a storm of violence, vengeance, and family vendetta. He’s no stranger to the razor wire that runs through Silicon Valley’s criminal underbelly.

With Silicon Valley venture capitalists, ruthless tech moguls, and old-world mobsters circling, Marty finds himself caught in a high-stakes game where digital fortunes crash and family loyalty is the sharpest weapon. Every player has a motive, every mansion hides a liar, and if Marty can’t sift the truth from the smoke, more children will wind up in the sniper’s sights.

Fans of Nelson DeMille’s twist-laden thrillers will tear through Odd Man In—a noir-tinged mystery tangled in Silicon Valley’s dark roots, where betrayal is currency and justice means making it out alive.
