"A gripping thriller that pulls back the curtain on the secret world of tech billionaires."--Time (100 Must-Read Books of 2025)"A stone-cold banger of a novel--a twisty journey through Silicon Valley's dark side, wrapped in a stunning mystery package with some wild surprises along the way."--Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter A WASHINGTON POST AND CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR DON'T CALL ME A FIXER. THIS ISN'T HBO. As the unofficial "problem solver" for Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalist, Mackenzie Clyde's an expert at wrangling tech bros and their multimillions--even as her own shot at a windfall remains just out of reach. But now she's playing for higher stakes. Because the lightning-rod CEO of tech's hottest startup has just been murdered, leaving behind billions in "dead money" frozen in his will--and Mackenzie's boss is the company's chief investor. With a fortune on the line and the official investigation going nowhere, it's up to Mackenzie to step in and resolve things, fast. Mackenzie's a lawyer, not a detective. Cracking this fiendishly clever killing, with its list of suspects that reads like a who's-who of Valley power players, should be way out of her league. Except Mackenzie's used to being underestimated. In fact, she's counting on it. "Terrific . . . filled with jaw-dropping twists and turns . . . an unpredictable nesting-box of surprises."--The New York Times Book Review (Best Thrillers of the Year So Far)
