Review:

A thundering David-and-Goliath tale of corruption...This is a real page turner, with high stakes action that doesn't stop * Booklist (Starred Review) * THE 500 delivers a whole new level of urgency and political relevance - and high-octane storytelling - all in the smart, sharp voice of a con-man turned Washington insider. Get ready to cancel appointments for this one. Full of fascinating detail, gritty action and the ever-appealing lure of the con, THE 500 won't let you put it down * Zoe Ferraris, author of Kingdom of Strangers and City of Veils * What an absolutely phenomenal, kickass thriller. I can't remember the last time a novel has left me this breathless. This one's going to be huge * Joseph Finder * THE 500 is a riveting page-turner in the tradition of John Grisham's THE FIRM. It's smart, intriguing, packed with action and heart, and loaded with detail on the hidden workings of Washington. It's going to be the big debut thriller of the year * Jeff Abbott * THE FIRM goes to Washington, only with a whole lot more action * James Patterson *
