The New York Times bestselling author of The
Millionaires and The First Counsel returns to
Wash-ington, D. C., with the story of an insider's game
that turns deadly. Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler are
best friends who have plum jobs as senior staffers to well-
respected congressmen. But after a decade in Washington,
idealism has faded to disillusionment, and they're bored.
Then one of them finds out about the clandestine Zero
Game. It starts out as good fun—a simple wager between
friends. But when someone close to them ends up dead,
Harris and Matthew realize the game is far more sinister
than they ever imagined—and that they're about to be the
game's next victims. On the run, they turn to the only
person they can trust: a 16-year-old Senate page who can
move around the Capitol undetected. As a ruthless killer
creeps closer, this idealistic page not only holds the key
to saving their lives, but is also determined to redeem
them in the process. Come play The Zero Game—you can bet
your life on it.
