Mike Ford is a former con artist who's been plucked from his Harvard Law School classroom to be an associate at The Davies Group, Washington's most high-powered and well-respected strategic consulting firm. Their specialty: pulling strings and peddling influence for the five hundred most powerful people inside the Beltway, the men and women who really run Washingtonâand by extension the country, and the world. The namesake of the firm, Henry Davies, knows everyone who matters; more importantly, he knows their secrets. Davies' experience goes back 40 yearsâhe worked for Lyndon Johnson, jumped shipped to Nixon, then put out his own shingle as the Hill's most cut-throat and expensive fixer. Now he's looking for a protégé to tackle his most high-stakes deal yet, and Mike fits the bill. Quickly pulled into a seductive, dangerous web of power and corruption, Mike struggles to find his way out. But how do you save your soul when you've made a deal with the devil? - Findaway World Llc
A year ago, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Mike Ford landed his dream job at the Davies Group, Washingtonâs most powerful consulting firm. Now heâs staring down the barrel of a gun, pursued by two of the worldâs most dangerous men. To get out, heâll have to do all the things he thought heâd never do again: lie, cheat, stealâand this time, maybe even kill. Mike grew up in a world of small stakes con men, learning lessons at his fatherâs knee. His hard won success in college and law school was his ticket out. As the Davies Groupâs rising star, he rubs shoulders with âThe 500,â the elite men and women who really run Washingtonâand the world. But peddling influence, he soon learns, is familiar work and 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, listeners will discover a new hero who learns that the higher the climb, the harderâand deadlierâthe fall.
