The Zero Game By: Brad Meltzer

The New York Times bestselling author of The Millionaires and The First Counsel returns to Washington, D.C., taking us behind closed doors and into the clandestine world of…THE ZERO GAME.

Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler are playing a mysterious game. It’s a game almost no one knows about—not their friends, not their co-workers, and certainly not their bosses, who are some of the most powerful Senators and Congressmen on Capitol Hill.

It’s a game that has everything: risk, reward, mystery, and the thrill of knowing that—just by being invited to play—you’ve confirmed your status as a true power broker in Washington.

But as Matthew and Harris quickly discover, the Zero Game is hiding a secret so explosive, it will shake Washington to its core. And when one player turns up dead, a dedicated young staffer will find himself relying on a tough, idealistic seventeen-year-old Senate page to help keep him alive…as he plays the Zero Game to its heart-pounding end.

Packed with high-octane suspense and heart-pounding action, THE ZERO GAME is Brad Meltzer at his supercharged best.
