About this title

Synopsis

"Offers readers a special lens into a unique and compelling world packed with intrigue and adventure. A must-read trilogy." -Huffington Post Books

Mara Winkel is rock climbing, mountain biking, and 'studying' her way through school at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

But when her best friend James asks her to partner with him to start a disruptive new software company she discovers that the world of technology startups is fraught with intrigue, adrenaline, soaring successes, and scorching failures. It turns out this is especially true when your technology threatens entrenched drug cartels.

Mara has to juggle mysterious investors, opaque partners, critical customers, and a team that is as brilliant as it is dysfunctional until only one question remains: win or die.
