Plot synopsis
The pieces of Meltzer's Zero Game include two jaded Capitol Hill staffers, a clandestine game, an explosive secret, and one idealistic Senate page.
The Capitol Hill staffers are named Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler. They play the Zero Game, a game only a select few on Capitol Hill even know about, including their bosses, two of the most powerful Senators and Congressmen on Capitol Hill. Just being "in the know" enough to play proves to the two staffers that they are true power brokers in D.C. They soon discover, though, that the Zero Game is more than it appears. One of the two ends up dead. The other must recruit on a young Senate page named Viv to help keep him alive and finish the Zero Game to its shocking conclusion.
