Description
The Zero Game by Brad Meltzer is a fiction political thriller set in Washington, D.C., following senior congressional staffers Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler. After years of political work, the friends’ idealism has given way to boredom—until they discover the clandestine “Zero Game,” a secretive wager that quickly escalates into deadly danger. When someone close to them is killed, Mercer and Sandler realise the game is far more sinister than they imagined and that their own lives are at risk. With nowhere else to turn, they rely on a clever sixteen-year-old Senate page who navigates the Capitol undetected and holds the key to their survival. Meltzer combines insider knowledge of political life with suspense, danger, and unexpected twists, offering a fast-paced narrative that explores loyalty, corruption, and survival in the highest echelons of power.
The novel is aimed at readers who enjoy tightly plotted thrillers, political intrigue, and high-stakes action in contemporary settings.
