Joe Robbins is a chief financial officer with a beautiful wife, a burning desire for riches, and a history with boxing and guns. It is 1999 in Austin, TX, at the peak of the high-tech boom, and Joe has a dream: He will take Connection Software public to win riches and financial freedom. Events proceed according to plan, until an employee commits suicide in a public way. Her motive is unknown. Soon after, Joe leans far from his values to reach for the brass ring, and when he falls, he loses everything. To make matters worse, a director on the board is murdered, and Joe becomes a suspect. Estranged from his wife, unemployed, and watched closely by the police, Joe struggles to redeem himself. To succeed he must use his analytical mind to solve the mysteries and his fighting skills to clean up the mess. Greed, lust, and obsession breed frantic acts of deception, sex, and murder in the gripping tale of Hill Country Greed.
