Very Bad Company by Emma Rosenblum is a thrilling new novel that follows the Aurora management team's desperate attempt to achieve their corporate dreams. Set against the lush backdrop of a luxury Miami resort, the story unfolds over one tension-filled weekend. Ten colleagues, each harbouring their own grudges and secrets, gather for a corporate retreat with the promise of a billion-dollar deal hanging in the balance.

As they work to finalise the sale of the company, underlying frictions bubble to the surface. Past resentments and illicit affairs cloud their judgment, but they all know they must hold it together for just a few more days. Success means each of them will be set for life. However, paradise quickly turns into a nightmare when one of the group vanishes after a night out.

Suspicions run high as the remaining team members grapple with the terrifying possibility that one among them may be capable of murder. With their trust shattered and the clock ticking, the group frantically searches for answers, realising that their biggest challenge isn’t sealing the business deal but surviving the weekend.

Very Bad Company is a gripping tale of betrayal, ambition, and survival. Emma Rosenblum masterfully weaves a tension-filled narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, exploring the dark underbelly of corporate success and the chilling lengths to which people will go to secure their futures.
