An Evening of Intrigue, Innovation, Conversation With the Acclaimed Author
Acclaimed author Cory Doctorow will visit DIESEL, A Bookstore in Brentwood, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss and sign his latest novel, Picks and Shovels: A Martin Hench Novel.

Set in 1986 in San Francisco, “Picks and Shovels” introduces readers to Martin Hench, an MIT dropout who invents the role of a forensic accountant—someone who tracks money the way a bounty hunter tracks people. Hired by Silicon Valley startup Fidelity Computing to investigate a rival company founded by ex-employees, Marty soon realizes he’s on the wrong side. Drawn to the vibrant, rebellious spirit of the competitor, Computing Freedom, Marty joins forces with a group of brilliant young women determined to outsmart the predatory practices of Fidelity Computing.
Caught in a high-stakes battle for control of emerging technology, Martin and his allies must navigate a dangerous landscape of corporate espionage and betrayal.
DIESEL, A Bookstore is located at the Brentwood Country Mart, where it frequently hosts author events and community gatherings.
