Dead Money

Jakob Kerr

"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

Don't call me a fixer. This isn't HBO.

In her job as unofficial "problem solver" for Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalist, Mackenzie Clyde's gotten used to playing for high stakes. Even if none of those tech-bro millions she's so good at wrangling ever make it into her pockets.

But this time, she's in way over her head-or so it seems.

The lightning-rod CEO of tech's hottest startup has just been murdered, leaving behind billions in "dead money" frozen in his will. As the company's chief investor, Mackenzie's boss has a fortune on the line-and with the police treading water, it's up to Mackenzie to step up 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 that Mackenzie's used to being underestimated. In fact, she's counting on it.

Because the way she sees it, this isn't an investigation. It's an opportunity. And she'll do anything it takes to seize it.

Anything at all.

Featuring jaw-dropping twists and a wily, outsider heroine you can't help rooting for, Dead Money is a brilliant sleight-of-hand mystery. Written by a longtime insider, it is also a dead-on snapshot of the Valley's rich and famous-and a glimpse at the darkness lurking behind the tech world's cheery facade.
