Brenda Reid

Her mentor’s death was ruled an accident. Sarah Mitchell knows better.

Sarah’s rise to CEO of Mitchell Investments is a pyrrhic victory. The towering skyscraper, a testament to her ambition, is now a haunting reminder of Victor Hayes, her predecessor, whose fatal fall from his penthouse balcony has left the company vulnerable. The official report claims it was an accident. Sarah sees the whispers, the veiled threats, the predatory gleam in the eyes of certain shareholders, and knows the truth is far more sinister.

Then, a chilling message from Victor’s past surfaces, encrypted with a quantum algorithm he designed: “Not an accident. Algorithmic assassination. They’re coming for you next.”

Victor, a visionary who foresaw the dark potential of unchecked AI, developed a fail-safe against a new breed of market manipulation: “The Harvester,” a self-learning algorithm capable of bankrupting companies with surgical precision. Now, Sarah is its target.

Her only hope is Michael Reed, a disillusioned ex-intelligence officer whose past intertwines with Victor’s. Haunted by his own demons, Michael reluctantly agrees to help Sarah navigate the treacherous world of high finance and decipher The Harvester’s lethal code.

Their investigation plunges them into a labyrinth of hidden servers, encrypted transactions, and offshore accounts. As they uncover the conspiracy, three key figures emerge: Gabriel Newman, the ambitious CFO driven by a desperate need to surpass Victor; John Burns, a ruthless board member entangled in a web of political favors; and Amanda Colon, Victor’s seemingly loyal executive assistant, whose grief masks a far more complex agenda.

As The Harvester tightens its grip, Mitchell Investments’ stock plummets, and whispers of insolvency escalate into panic. Sarah faces an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk shattering the foundations of the financial world, or become complicit in a crime that could cripple global markets.

The final battle isn't fought in a boardroom, but in the abstract realm of cyberspace. Within the algorithm's core, Sarah must make her ultimate decision: disable The Harvester or wield its devastating power. One wrong move means oblivion.

In *Algorithmic Assassin: The Mitchell Deception*, Brenda Reid delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that explores the seductive allure of power, the fragility of trust, and the terrifyingly efficient future of algorithmic warfare.
