Bad Karma

About This Audiobook

If you think the tech world’s all boardroom deals and power lunches, Dwight Holing’s *Bad Karma* will slap you awake. Jack McCoul isn’t just a burned-out start-up founder—he’s a guy who once stole a million-dollar painting with a partner who vanished without a trace. Now, years later, that partner is back, and his latest scheme involves swiping a priceless statue from a venture-capital shark who’s not the forgiving type. The twist? McCoul’s dragged into a murder investigation where the body count rises faster than his chances of staying alive. Holing’s prose crackles with the kind of razor-sharp dialogue and moral greyness you’d expect from a noir flick, but with a Silicon Valley twist that’s as sharp as it is unsettling. The pacing never stumbles, even when the tech jargon starts flying—because this isn’t just about who stole what; it’s about who’s willing to kill to keep it buried."

"This audiobook thrives on its narrator, Connor Toms, who nails the gritty, world-weary charm of a man who’s seen too much and trusted too little. His voice shifts seamlessly from cynical to desperate to downright terrified, making Jack’s descent into chaos feel visceral. The production is clean, with just enough atmospheric hum to sell the tension of backroom deals and midnight escapes. What’s most refreshing is how Holing avoids the usual tech-thriller clichés—no rogue AI, no cyber-panic, just old-school criminal cunning in a world where money talks and bodies don’t. If you crave a mystery that’s less about gadgets and more about human betrayal, *Bad Karma* delivers the goods.
