Pierce needs to get to the bottom of it before the Guild catches up to him.

Johnny Mnemonic meets John Wick in The Price of Everything, a heart-racing near-future cyberpunk thriller about climate change and corruption. In a world where cyberwarfare has resulted in an all-cash economy, a private courier of high-denomination currency finds himself on the run from his own guild’s assassins while navigating a dense network of money launderers, shell corporations, drugs dealers, privatized police forces, and climate activists when his client’s payload goes missing.

When Armand Pierce first became a courier a decade earlier, he had an attaché case connected to a titanium cuff grafted onto the bones of his wrist, and took an oath: the delivery is everything. He can run, fight—kill, if he needs to—but the package gets where it’s going. Otherwise, he dies. It’s the Guild’s guarantee, and all business—legitimate or otherwise—depends on it.

So Pierce knows he’s in deep trouble when he arrives at his latest destination to find his payload missing, his case mysteriously empty. Something strange is going on—something that’s already cost three couriers their lives and now threatens to upend the global order—and Pierce needs to get to the bottom of it before the Guild catches up to him.

About the Author

My favorite books to read and to write are propulsive thrillers that explore ideas and issues that I find fascinating and important, and hopefully the Price of Everything does just that. I’m incredibly concerned about climate change, wealth disparity, and the growth and growing power of the billionaire class, and this book centers on all of those things, so it is very close to my heart.
