Opis

It's the food that nourishes tech startups. O-P-M. Other People's Money. To many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, it's known irreverently as opium, because once you get on it, it's hard to kick the habit. Silicon Valley software entrepreneur Mike Gold is an expert at using this opium to fund his startups. Mike is between ventures and getting antsy when he's offered an intriguing proposition: start up a new company funded by billionaire tech icon Barry Samson. But when Samson is found murdered, and Gold's friends start disappearing, the FBI targets him as a suspect. To protect his family, his reputation, and his freedom, Mike has to unravel a puzzle involving his best friends, buried events from his childhood, mysterious women, and retired mobsters. And he better move fast, because the FBI is after him and time is running out.
