Two Seattle updates today!
First, a reminder that on Thursday, January 30, I'll be appearing at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park to talk all things Dead Money. Please RSVP if you're planning to attend -- the event is free but Third Place would love to get a sense of how many people plan to be there.
Second, very excited to share that the Seattle Times has named Dead Money one of their "5 mystery and thriller books to look forward to in 2025." Full review below!
"Across the globe lies Jakob Kerr’s “Dead Money” (Jan. 28, Bantam, $30), an exhilarating and unpredictable thriller that delves into the shadowy depths of Silicon Valley. Mackenzie Clyde, a resourceful “problem solver” for a ruthless venture capitalist, finds herself investigating the shocking murder of a tech CEO whose frozen billions have left the Valley in chaos. As suspects pile up and secrets unravel, Kerr’s razor-sharp prose captures the adrenaline-fueled world of professional gambling while touching on themes of greed, loyalty and the cost of survival. Packed with jaw-dropping twists, a compelling outsider heroine and scathing insights into the tech world’s glittering facade, “Dead Money” is an electrifying debut that demands to be devoured."
More to come!
