Unfortunately, along the way, she and her colleagues—tech savant Squirrel, and the elegant and intimidating Becks—have uncovered a far-reaching AI conspiracy. And the corporate matchmakers may be resorting to murder to protect their secrets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn the wake of a client’s sudden death, Claudia convinces his ex, an industry insider, to turn on his employer and feed the verifiers information about what the powerful dating platforms are really up to. But even as Claudia starts to get a feel for this new genre—just call her Lin, Claudia Lin—she’s distracted by the possibility of romance with both Becks and a very charming target. She also fears that her beloved older brother is unwittingly being drawn into the matchmakers’ deadly web. And as Becks reminds Claudia: spy tropes dictate that someone you trust will betray you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46139826733213,"sku":"9780593470152","price":89.95,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/7575\/1837\/files\/9780593470152_MPH.jpg?v=1737618749","url":"https:\/\/mphonline.com\/products\/claudia-lin-02-the-rivals","provider":"MPHOnline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
