These Quiet Years

by Nicholas Stillman

Overview

We all hide something. With enough corruption from their builders, computers will start hiding things too. Gillis, a private investigator, has immured himself in a never-ending stakeout job for a billionaire boss he’ll never see. When he intuits that his helper robot, Connie, hides even more information, he performs the world’s first interrogation of a sentient machine.

Gillis must confront the bitter cold truth: that his canny robot, his gourmand coworker, and the ancillary delegate to the boss have all hidden startling finds. A conspiracy unravels that could keep the stakeout running forever—or until the PIs go insane from never solving the case. When Gillis storms after the truth on his own, he finds a murderous game playing out on the streets he had left behind.
