The Book of FateThe Book of Fate
The First CounselShadow is the Secret Service code name for First Daughter Nora Hartson. And when Michael Garrick, a young White House lawyer, begins dating the irresistible Nora, he's instantly spellbound, just like everyone else in her world.
It's a world all of us have heard about but few of us really know. A world where power is an aphrodisiac, your father is the president, your close friends wear earpieces and carry guns, and everyone watches your every move.
Like most, Michael thinks he can handle the pressure. Until, while together late one night, he and Nora witness something they were never meant to see and become ensnared in a secret agenda, a scheme by a White House insider that includes betrayal and murder.
Suddenly, this young Washington power broker, who just yesterday was out on a dream date, finds himself trusting no one, not even Nora, in a battle to prove his innocence. It's a battle that will shake the walls of the Oval Office to their foundations and may ultimately cost Michael Garrick his life.
In a fresh and knowing voice, Meltzer takes us down the rabbit hole of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and paints a riveting picture of a danger only one man will know what it's like to fall in love with the world's most powerful daughter.
The Millionaires
Two brothers. Three secret service agents. And millions for the taking.
Charlie and Oliver Caruso are brothers who work at Greene and Greene, a private bank so exclusive there's a $2 million minimum to be a client. But when the door of success slams in their faces, the brothers are presented with an offer they can't refuse: $3 million in an abandoned account that can't be traced. It's the perfect victimless crime.
Charlie and Oliver opt to take the money, but get much more than they bargained for. Now, with a lot of extra zeroes in their pockets and a friend found dead, the Secret Service and a female private investigator are closing in. Whose money did they take? How will they stay alive? And why is the Secret Service trying to kill them?
Both Charlie and Oliver quickly realize it's not easy being The Millionaires.
The Zero Game
Set on Capitol Hill, this is the story of Sandler Harris, a young man who, over the course of the decade he has worked as a Congressional staffer, has seen his idealism and initial zeal for the job fade into a sense of disillusionment. To relieve his boredom and growing lack of enthusiasm, Sandler and another staffer who is similarly jaded, are pulled into a seemingly harmless but clandestine game that involves betting on small bills being introduced into Congress. Those who play the game are kept in the dark about those whom they are betting against. It all seems like good fun, that is until Sandler and his friend find themselves betting on a bill that they have helped draft. Suddenly, Sandler's friend is found murdered with a bulls eye painted on his chest and as bodies begin to mount, it becomes all too clear that Sandler has been targeted as the game's next victim. On the run, with no place to hide and no one to trust, Sandler teams up with an unlikely ally, an idealistic 16 year old page who is determined not only to help Sandler but to redeem him in the process.
