The Zero Game
Brad Meltzer
Blurb: Come play the Zero Game - you can bet your life on it...
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 realise the game is far more sinister than they ever imagined - and that they're about to be the game's next victims.
One the run, they turn to the only person they can trust: a sixteen-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 it also determined to redeem them in the process.
Brad Meltzer's super-charged new thriller will take you on a white-knuckle rollercoaster of a read, and confirms him as the most dazzling suspense writer of his generation.
