Second Edition! Scroll down to see what’s new in this edition.

Security specialist Gat Burroughs died once and he’ll be damned if he lets it happen again. Unfortunately somebody is determined to kill his client, a washed up star named Max Prince, and isn’t afraid to go through Gat to do it.

Is it Max’s debauched granddaughter and heir? Is it the deadly Suerte y Muerte, a cult that kills to steal good luck? Is it Max’s own lawyer and manager, James Jerome?

And how on Earth did the would-be assassin get past Max Prince’s top-grade A.I., the one that’s adopted the likeness of computer pioneer Alan Turing?

Gat will have to follow the clues through L.A.’s underworld, the slums of Mexico City, and his own guilty past to find the surprising answer.
