Alright, you need to know about this new thriller that's getting insane reviews. The New York Times calls it "terrific" and "filled with jaw-dropping twists," and Blake Crouch, the author of Dark Matter, says it's a "stone-cold banger." The book is Dead Money, and it is a wild ride.
So, meet Mackenzie Clyde. And please, don't call her a fixer. This isn't some TV drama. She's the unofficial "problem solver" for one of Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalists, used to playing for incredibly high stakes, even if none of those tech-bro millions end up in her pocket.
But this time, she is in way over her head. The lightning-rod CEO of the Valley's hottest startup has just been murdered. He leaves behind billions in "dead money," completely frozen in his will. Mackenzie's boss has a fortune on the line, the police are treading water, and it falls on her to step in and fix things—fast.
Here's the thing, though. Mackenzie is a lawyer, not a detective. Cracking a fiendishly clever murder with a suspect list that reads like a who ' who of tech power players should be way out of her league. Except Mackenzie is used to being underestimated. She's counting on it.
The way she sees it, this isn't an investigation. It's an opportunity. And she will do anything it takes to seize it. Anything at all.
This book is a brilliant sleight-of-hand mystery with a wily, outsider heroine you can’t help but root for. Written by a longtime insider, it's also a perfect snapshot of the darkness lurking just behind the tech world's cheery facade.
