Business can be murder, but it turns out murder can also be good business... from the Bloody Scotland Harvill Secker Crime Writing Award comes a darkly comic new thriller.

Work can be a killer. But so can she.

Ellen is tired of being overshadowed at work. Tired of watching less competent, entitled suits take the promotions she's earned. But when one of them pushes her too far, things take a murderous turn. And it turns out the darker Ellen goes, the shinier her future starts to look.

Business can be murder, but it turns out murder can also be good business for Ellen. Torn between capitalising on her newfound success and desperately covering her tracks she soon discovers that others in the company are also interested in dramatically adjusting its toxic office culture. Will she be able to survive the competition?
