The Chaos Chip

Employed by Veritus International, Murdock McCabe, formerly an FBI agent, investigates the murder of a curious Bavarian monk. He must sift through a fog of improbable circumstances in order to solve the crime. He meets a wealthy Chilean businessman, a baron involved in dark political intrigue, and enigmatic abbot of a monastery, a high official of the Bavarian State Police, a helpful retired philosophy professor from Oregon, a shadowy woman of intrigue who hangs out in a lesbian bar in Munich, a cheeky Russian emigre opportunist in Cypress, and Sascha who has no redeeming character. Murdock's abiding cynicism attacked his value system and diminished his capacity to believe in anyone or anything -- God or man.
