Exclamation Updated: Hachette (Kindle) Pre-order/Preview: The 500

Courtesy of the amazon kindle forum discount price thread:

"The 500: A Novel", by Matthew Quirk is available for free pre-order,
delivery June 5, 2012.

"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 Washington -- and by extension the country, and the world."

The author is a reporter for 'Atlantic Monthly' in Washington, DC.
Apparently a movie is in the works....

***************************************

Update:
Guess my naivete is showing - the book link on amazon has been changed to
"The 500 - Free Preview". Still shows it has 336 pages; looks like we'll have to wait til June to find out what we're getting...
