For nearly three decades, Mike Grossman has been at the center of the world’s most mythologized innovation hub, leading early-stage, venture-funded tech companies through the highs, heartbreaks, and near misses that define life in the Valley.

A dead surveyor. A corrupted compass. And buried iron that points to murder. Nevada Territory, 1882. Surveyor Virgil Peck is found face-up on the alkali flats east of Furnace Creek — no water, no hat, no horse, and a shattered compass at his side. The coroner rules it exposure. The desert, after all, doesn't require malice. Silas Thorne knows better. Hired to verify Peck's railroad survey, Silas and his partner Linus arrive in a town built around a water tower and controlled by a man who owns every spring in the basin. The survey should be routine.
