Selected for best for Edgars and Thrillerwriters.
A year ago, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Mike Ford
landed his dream job at the Davies Group, Washington's most
powerful consulting firm. Now, he's staring down the barrel
of a gun, pursued by two of the world's most dangerous men.
To get out, he'll have to do all the things he thought he'd
never do again: lie, cheat, steal-and this time, maybe even
kill. Mike grew up in a world of small-stakes con men, learning
lessons at his father's knee. His hard-won success in
college and law school was his ticket out. As the Davies
Group's rising star, he rubs shoulders with "The 500," the
elite men and women who really run Washington -- and the
world. But peddling influence, he soon learns, is familiar
work: even with a pedigree, a con is still a con. Combining the best elements of political intrigue and
heart-stopping action, THE 500 is an explosive debut, one
that calls to mind classic thrillers like The Firm and
Presumed Innocent. In Mike Ford, readers will discover a new
hero who learns that the higher the climb, the harder -- and
deadlier -- the fall.
