Der perfekte Sommer. Die perfekte Ehe. Das perfekte Geheimnis? Der SPIEGEL-Bestseller jetzt im Taschenbuch! Jeden Sommer lassen Jen Weinstein und ihre Freundin Lauren Parker ihr privilegiertes Leben in New York hinter sich, um die schönsten Wochen des Jahres auf Fire Island zu verbringen, einer idyllischen Düneninsel, gleich neben Long Island. Hier residiert „altes Geld“, man kennt sich seit Jahren und vertreibt sich die Zeit mit Tennis, kühlen Cocktails im Clubhaus und Beach-Picknicks. Die Ehemänner checken die Börsenkurse, bei Jen und ihren Freundinnen hat längst das Rennen auf den neuen attraktiven Tennislehrer begonnen – es scheint, ein ganz normaler Sommer zu werden. Bis nach einem Sturm eine Leiche in einer Böschung gefunden wird … Und während die Tage länger und heißer werden, zeigen sich immer mehr Risse im scheinbar perfekten Leben von Jen und ihren Freunden: Wer schläft mit wem? Wem ist das Geld ausgegangen? Und: Wer hat mit wem noch eine Rechnung offen …? „Sagen Sie alle Verabredungen ab – ich habe dieses Buch innerhalb eines Wochenendes inhaliert und konnte einfach nicht die Finger davon lassen!“ Lucy Foley

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.

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.
