{"product_id":"2940012673466","title":"In My Opinion:The PM Note","description":"Meet David Dawson, a single, G5 flying, 930 Porsche driving international traveler, and expert witness from Silicon Valley. He and his team at D\u0026amp;Z Partners are about to dive into yet another adventure they didn’t expect—and a ride they couldn’t have anticipated. Dawson has two associates who work with him at D\u0026amp;Z Partners: Dr. Matthew Zimmerman, a Stanford graduate, resident genius and technology wizard; and  Helen Shepherd, a beautiful woman with more common sense and organizational skill than the other two partners combined.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDawson has made a fortune in Silicon Valley, and as a result has an enormous catalog of international connections—both government and private. His expert witness investigations pull him into intrigue he doesn’t foresee, and he uses his connections to pull him out. In a Quixotic way (minus the horse), he takes litigation cases that he believes will make a positive difference in the world. His special crusade is protecting American innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the story, In My Opinion, Dawson uncovers a new and dangerous market insider-trading scheme. The treacherous plot is controlled by two men: Prince Alexander Vial-Rothstein, and an American businessman, Ed Werner. Ruthlessly, they use unique technology to access confidential information stored on digital copiers located in high security government offices around the world, including Alaska.  \u003cbr\u003eDawson meets the charismatic Governor of Alaska, Jonathan Hawthorne, who has just advised the President of the Unites Sates that Alaska is seceding from America, and he intends to return the oil riches of Alaska back to the Alaskan citizens. This highly sensitive information sparks a dangerous opportunity for Rothstein and Werner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ensuing insider-trading scheme threatens to destroy the American economy. Further, a successful Alaskan secession creates a slippery slope: Texas and California may follow in their own bid to disband the Union. Together these menacing events could collapse the United States of America, just as the USSR disintegrated decades earlier. \u003cbr\u003eDawson persuades Hawthorne to join forces with him to use the Alaskan secession threat to save America and destroy the insider-trading scheme. The story moves around the world: from Alaska to Washington, to Paris and Iran before ending in the skies above New York’s Kennedy International. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn My Opinion is a fast-paced thriller with exciting characters who capture your imagination.
