| Reviews:
"If
you laid all the boring Silicon Valley authors end-to-end it would be a
good thing. But they still wouldn't amount to half the insight Coggins
lays down in his adventurous novel. Fast cars, nymphomaniac rich kids,
billionaires with short attention spans and long money: a truer picture
of Silicon Valley can't be found. In a world transformed through technology-driven
change, we need new heroes, a new James Bond -- Ted Valmont is it."
--Cory Johnson, CNBC Silicon Valley Correspondent |

| Description:
Hardboiled detective novel set in Silicon Valley and the seamy underbelly
of San Francisco's S&M scene. Seldom has a debut novel from a small
press met with such a feeding frenzy. Within three months, the first printing
was nearly sold out and was already being traded on the rare book market.
Nominated in the Best First Novel category for
both the Shamus and Barry mystery awards, The Immortal Game has
also been selected by Otto Penzler as "Penzler's Pick" for Amazon.com. |

| Reviews:
The
Immortal Game is a panoramic tour de force conducted by the enjoyably
jaded Riordan, a detective both deadpan and boyish, a strangely San Francisco
combination. And thanks to Coggins' tight pacing and well- thought-out
plot, the book never loses its white-knuckled grip on reality, even as
it bottom-trolls through parts of town that definitely aren't on the official
site list. --San Francisco Chronicle |
