The Man Who Wouldn't Die

"HBO's Silicon Valley meets The Big Sleep" (Mark Haskell Smith): An anonymous tech insider delivers "a hard-boiled, hilarious detective novel about Silicon Valley" (New York Post) DOES FOR SILICON VALLEY WHAT CARL HIAASEN DID FOR FLORIDA. Tim Dorsey THE MAN WHO WOULDNT DIE IS DASHIELL HAMMETT 2.0: THE CLASSIC HARDBOILED DETECTIVE NOVEL, UPDATED FOR 21ST CENTURY SILICON VALLEY AND MADE HILARIOUS. Brad Parks Silicon Valley scion Captain Don Donogue is dead under mysterious circumstances. In fact, he mightve well have been murdered. Just ask Captain Don himself. Hes been sending messages about his suspicious death from beyond the grave. Yep, hes been tweeting from the afterlife. Or so it seems. Could life-after-death be Silicon Valleys latest innovation? Our bodies die but our souls and social media accounts are eternal? This is the mystery that confronts the only sane person left in a region gone mad with greed, William Fitzgerald. Fitch. Hes a world-class detective, tough, stoic, carries a big fist and a flip phone. Hes a bad fit for Silicon Valley, where the law firms have drive-thru windows manned by barristeristas (who serve instant coffee and instant patents); attractive women arent MILFs but TELFs (Tech Executives Id Like To Fund); and couples are so anxious to get into the best free-play kindergartens that they get on the waiting list as soon as they freeze their sperm and eggs for later use. One day, a woman knocks on Fitchs door. Shes got a handful of cash and a wild story: She says that her father was Captain Don, or is Captain Don. He was killed, or maybe not. Hes tweeting from beyond. Fitch takes the case and goes into the belly of the valley, discovering that life and death, well, sometimes theyre just another transaction. Original, clever, and hysterical, The Man Who Wouldnt Die is the Carl Hiaasen of Silicon Valley and neo-noir at its unforgettable best.
