**Codependence kills.**

**This heart-pounding psychological thriller follows a founder who must rescue her company from the brink of bankruptcy - and solve the mystery behind the untimely death of her best friend.**

Your mentor and CEO just fell 25 feet to her death at Burning Man. Now it's your job to raise 75 million dollars-or bury the company you built together.

Alexis Ecker never wanted the spotlight. But after the sudden, suspicious death of her best friend and business partner Darcy Lyons, the 29-year-old finds herself alone at the helm of their billion-dollar fashion-tech startup-and under ruthless pressure to deliver a massive new round of venture capital funding.

Grieving and unprepared, Alexis is forced to perform her most convincing pitch yet: that everything is fine! That the company is thriving! That she _didn't_ lose the only person who ever truly believed in her! But when whispers of betrayal begin to swirl-and Alexis starts unraveling the secrets Darcy took to her grave-she finds herself caught between a powerful investor with his own agenda and the mounting realization that Darcy's death wasn't an "accident" after all.

Taut, darkly funny, and emotionally charged, _The Raise_ is a compulsively readable exploration of female ambition, codependent friendships, and the price of loyalty in a world where image is everything and women are always being watched.

**Perfect for fans of _Luckiest Girl Alive_, _None of This Is True_, and _My Year of Rest and Relaxation_, this debut thriller grips from the first page-and doesn't let go.**
