Book Launch: Vince Thompson’s The Lockup Period

Chevalier’s Books celebrates the launch of Vince Thompson’s The Lockup Period, a Silicon Valley thriller centered on Mario, a man trying to navigate startup ambition, professional betrayal, and the dangerous consequences of success. After an unfair record and a pizza-delivery job leave him on the margins, Mario is pulled into an AI startup where advisory shares suddenly threaten to transform his life.

As the company moves toward going public, opportunity begins to collide with risk, loyalty, and survival. Thompson’s novel turns the high-pressure world of venture-backed technology into a tense story about reinvention, power, and what can happen when a financial breakthrough comes with unexpected consequences.
