From the national bestselling author of Bad Summer People - "Another irresistible summer read." ―W Magazine - "A darkly funny mystery." --TIME - "Juicy and hilarious." ―Glamour - "Fun, page-turning." ―People - A high-stakes, high-drama novel that reads like White Lotus meets Succession
Every year, executives at the trendy tech startup Aurora gather the company's top employees for an exclusive retreat in Miami, and this year Caitlin Levy--Aurora's newest hire--is joining the team as head of events. The benefits are outstanding: a seven-figure salary, stock shares, a discretionary bonus, limitless vacation days--what could possibly go wrong?
When a fellow high-level executive vanishes after the first night, the disappearance has the potential to derail the future of the company's sale and cost everyone on the team millions. Now more than ever, Caitlin and her colleagues must continue the charade--partaking in team-building exercises, group brainstorms, dinners--in order to keep the future of Aurora afloat amid all the fatal speculations.
Compulsively readable, Very Bad Company is a slick send-up of corporate culture wrapped in a captivating mystery.
"Emma Rosenblum, author of last year’s fabulously scandalous Bad Summer People, has returned with an equally sordid and sardonic take on forced corporate fun, following a group of tech elites as their soused vacation, and house-of-cards company, quickly unravel."
