The 500 - Matthew Quirk
Izdavac: REAGAN ARTHUR - LITTLE BROWN
Tvrd povez 326 str.

A gripping thriller debut, set deep in the heart of the world`s most powerful political arena

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.
