My Novel, Opium, Just Published

My first novel, Opium, has just been published and is available on Amazon.com. There will also be a Kindle edition out in a few weeks. Opium is a murder mystery set in Silicon Valley. The hero is (what else?) a software entrepreneur named Mike Gold. Here is the cover blurb:
What are the limits of friendship?
Silicon Valley software entrepreneur Mike Gold 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, Gold 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.
And, yes, I am working on the sequel.
