Devil’s Plaything by Matt Richtel

Journalist Nat Idle is nearly gunned down in Golden Gate Park. He quickly learns it was no random attack. Suddenly, in pursuit of the truth, he’s running for his life through the shadows of Silicon Valley, a human lab animal caught in a deadly maze of neurotechnology and institutional paranoia. And his survival rests entirely in the hands of his eighty-five-year old grandmother, Lane, who’s suffering from dementia, and can’t remember the secret at the heart of the world-changing conspiracy.

“A brilliant thriller, a blend of Michael Chrichton and Alfred Hitchcock. From page one, you’ll not be able to put this book down.” – James Rollins, NY Times bestselling author
