Charisma: A Mike Gold Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439269688)

.When Hollywood science celebrity Abe Wiezman invites Silicon Valley software entrepreneur Mike Gold to become CEO of his eight-year-old biotech company, Mike is intrigued. Abe's messianic belief that the company can save the world from pollution and maybe even from global warming is intoxicating. As he dives into the challenges of learning new technology and taking the company public, Mike discovers some of the downsides of running an organization built around a charismatic personality. But these management problems fade into the background when Abe starts receiving death threats. Then those threats escalate into violence, and Mike has to face down his own demons or forfeit not only Abe's life, but that of his own son.
