The Wager

An operative in a federal investigative unit, Adam Zak, starts probing a blackmail scheme that uses expensive escorts in Washington to reach some of the country's most influential politicians. The inquiry soon uncovers a deadly plot aimed at steering the choice of the next president. As the primaries approach, Zak teams up with systems analyst Dreu Sason, and together they wade through a tangle of killings, extortion and political scheming. Their search raises hard questions about the government and the press that reports on it: whom can anyone believe, and how can anyone be sure?
