His mind is failing. His math is perfect.
Arthur Vance, a forty-eight-year-old actuary with early-onset Alzheimer's, loses his job and receives a devastating diagnosis in the same week. With a nine-year-old autistic son whose lifetime care will cost five million dollars, Arthur discovers that every legal path to that number equals zero.
What he has is a mathematical mind that sees the financial system as a network of nodes waiting to be optimized-and a bankrupt former Wall Street client manager with a VR arcade full of idle GPUs.
Together, they build Ghost: an untraceable money-laundering algorithm that turns black money into clean commercial cash flow. But the perfect system attracts both greedy men and brilliant hunters. Elias Williams, an IRS criminal investigator, is tracking a pattern of micro-transactions that are too clean to be real.
Every Friday, Elias plays chess with his quiet neighbor across the street.
He doesn't know Ghost sits on the other side of the board.
The Algorithm Master, Book I: Singularity is the first volume of the Hourglass Quartet-a high-IQ financial crime thriller about memory, mathematics, and a father who will tear through every firewall the system has to protect his son before his own mind erases him completely.
