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.

Washington has been the focus for Brad Meltzer's novels--The Supreme Court, Washington attorneys, and in Zero Game, congressional staffers. Open this window into political insiders, influence peddling and the harmless-looking game of betting on the outcome of congressional bills. Caught up in what is immediately apparent as a deadly game, Harris Sandler and a young Senate intern are off on a wild chase-adventure with plenty of surprises. Scott Brick exhibits his knack for ratcheting the tension of high-stakes drama. His narration remains calm yet listeners feel the characters' turmoil of fear, confusion, and anger. He delivers the blistering pace of the action without losing a beat. The extensively researched details of the inside workings of Washington pay off, as Meltzer and Brick convince us that the game could be real.
