Pandamoon Publishing Announces Release of TO KILL A UNICORN by DC Palter

AUSTIN, Texas - Feb. 1, 2023 - PRLog -- Today, Pandamoon Publishing has released hi-tech murder mystery, TO KILL A UNICORN. Set in Silicon Valley, the story is about Süpr Düpr, a high-flying start-up with a billion-dollar valuation, a "unicorn" in investment parlance, but its media darling CEO is driven more by maximizing her brainchild's valuation than ethics. The novel is available to the public worldwide through Amazon with wider distribution through other channels expected in coming weeks.

"TO KILL A UNICORN is a wild ride through the world of high-tech startups and a rare find for a publisher. It offers a timely commentary on the excesses of Silicon Valley where even the most outlandish concepts can attract investors willing to gamble on the next big thing," said Zara Kramer, Publisher at Pandamoon Publishing. "With only a few days remaining before the unveiling of a transformative new technology expected to revolutionize both transportation and commerce, Ted Hara, the main character, becomes entangled in a web of corruption designed to protect the company and its media darling CEO. While hiding from the police, Ted must learn why people are disappearing."

"February 1st marks not only the culmination of five years of work on my first novel but the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Pandamoon, which operates like a startup, was the ideal partner for this novel about Silicon Valley startups," said DC Palter.
