Ariel's Image (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950729258)

Litigator Paul McDaniel has seen more death in the last few days than he ever cared to in his entire life. Unfortunately, fate has something else in mind. Within hours of returning to his successful law firm, he witnesses the inexplicable death of his very wealthy client, Placido Milano. McDaniel now needs protection more than ever, and Ariel, his enigmatic AI assistant, is pleased to oblige. Greed and rivalry of a powerful Italian family of clients, plus ruthless intrigue of other dirty actors, forces Paul to fight for his life -- and the life of his new firm -- from Atlanta to the Cayman Islands and back. The lines between humanity and Artificial Intelligence blur in this second Legal AI thriller in the Ariel trilogy.

Ariel, the Artificial Intelligence in the service of Paul McDaniel. He didn't ask for it. She's a murderer, for certain. But what is she to him? Friend or foe? Lover or stalker? Can she be controlled? Will she want to be?
