Dead Money, Jakob - B+

           Mackenzie Clyde is a fixer for Hammersmith Ventures and is tasked by her boss to help the FBI investigate a murder. The victim, Trevor Canon, was the CEO of Hammersmith's largest ever investment, and his will froze his assets if he were murdered. She and Jameson Danner, the FBI agent, learn that access to the elevator to Canon's wing was limited to his five direct reports a few days before he died. The only conclusion can be that he was murdered by a member of his executive team. They all have an alibi and one of them tells Mackenzie and Danner that the company is sinking like a rock and is not worth anything close to what the world believes. The further they dig, they discover that Canon was likely working on an autonomous vehicle with a competitor, until they talk to the competitor and learn that Canon was working on AI and had made a brilliant breakthrough. The FBI then puts Mackenzie in a safe house, and tell her that her boss is behind it all because he's indebted to the Russian Mob. Together with the FBI, she runs down the bad guys at Burning Man as the story concludes with some head-spinning twists.
