Perfect for you if...

You love legal thrillers with a protagonist who's smarter than everyone in the room and enjoys being underestimated.
You're fascinated by the tech industry's shadier side and want a mystery that actually peels back how power and money work in Silicon Valley.
You appreciate twisty plotting with genuine surprises that don't feel cheap or forced, where the final reveal makes you want to reread earlier chapters.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward whodunits where the culprit is revealed early and the rest is confirmation. This one keeps pivoting.
You want a protagonist who fits neatly into the "brilliant detective" archetype. Mackenzie's an outsider playing a game she's learning as she goes.
You're looking for literary depth or character introspection over plot momentum. This is a page-turner, not a slow-burn character study.

About this book

Mackenzie Clyde works as a problem solver for one of Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalists, managing crises involving tech entrepreneurs and their substantial fortunes. When the CEO of a major tech startup is murdered, leaving billions frozen in his will, Mackenzie's boss becomes a key figure in the case as the company's chief investor. With significant money at stake and the official investigation stalled, Mackenzie must take on the task of solving the crime herself. Though trained as a lawyer rather than a detective, she faces a complex murder with numerous suspects drawn from Silicon Valley's most powerful figures. Mackenzie has built her career on being underestimated, and she intends to use that advantage to uncover the truth behind this carefully constructed killing. Winner of the Edgar Award.
