About This Event
Local Author Chris Kneer will be discussing his 2nd book in the Cigar City Thriller Series.
He escaped his past once—now it’s holding the future hostage.
After barely surviving the fallout of exposing a billion-dollar fraud and his wife's devastating betrayal, Jason Miles is trying to start over. As the head of a rising tech consultancy, he seeks a quieter life where danger is not a constant companion. But when an old enemy resurfaces with a threat he can't outrun, that fragile normalcy shatters.
Blackmailed into stealing the world’s first Alpha Quantum Computer—a self-learning machine capable of breaking every safeguard ever invented—Jason is thrust back into the shadows he tried to leave behind. Refuse, and the people he loves will die. Comply, and every digital system on the planet becomes vulnerable to a single ruthless cabal.
Hunted on all sides, Jason is drawn into a global conspiracy spanning from Tampa’s Ybor City to the cliffs of the Greek Isles. To survive and protect the future from being rewritten, he must stop a secret society seeking absolute power and face the past that refuses to stay buried.
But some secrets are best left as loose ends.
Chris Kneer brings over three decades of senior-level banking experience to his writing, crafting gripping financial thrillers with authenticity and insider insight. In addition to his storytelling, he is a bank executive.
His debut novel, Bluebird, introduces readers to Jason Miles in the first installment of the series. The second Cigar City Thriller, Loose Ends, will be released in March 2026.
Chris lives with his family in Tampa Bay, Florida. When he’s not writing or working, you’ll likely find him exploring the real-world financial puzzles that inspire his fiction.
