Book summary

Brad Meltzer, author of THE MILLIONAIRES and THE FIRST COUNSEL, returns to Washington, DC, with THE ZERO GAME. Capitol Hill aides and best friends Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler join the underground Game--in which bets are placed by political powers-that-be and the outcomes are determined by congressional votes. Matt and Harris try to make a financial killing using insider information, but their gamble suddenly turns deadly, and they find themselves running from a hired assassin. The chase leads them to South Dakota and an abandoned gold mine, as they flee the killer while trying to uncover the secret political agenda behind the Zero Game.
