About this title

Synopsis

Fresh from Yale Law, Ben Addison is a new clerk for one of the Supreme Court's most respected justices. Along with his co-clerk, Lisa, Ben represents the best of the fledgling legal community: sharp, perfectionistic, and painstakingly conscientious - but just as green. So when he inadvertently reveals the confidential outcome of an upcoming Court decision, and one of the parties to the case makes millions, Ben starts to sweat. Big time.
Ben confides in Lisa and turns to his D.C. housemates for help. They offer their coveted insiders' access - Nathan works at the State Department, Eric reports for a Washington daily, and Ober is an assistant to a leading senator - to help outsnake the blackmailer who holds Ben's once-golden future hostage. But it's not long before these inseparable pals discover how dangerous their misuse of power can be, even when accompanied by the very best of intentions. And when a suspicious leak develops from within their own circle, Ben and his friends find themselves pitted against each other in a battle of shifting alliances and fierce deceptions that strikes to the weaknesses in their friendships, threatens to ruin their careers - and ultimately may cost them their lives.

Review

'Compulsive... This round to Brad Meltzer - 4 stars'
Mail on Sunday

'This law graduate author brings a dynamic new voice to a new area of legal thriller territory... A fresh, sharp narrative with engaging characters and an intelligent plot - a great fiction debut that stands out among legal thrillers'
South Wales Argus

'A firecracker of a debut novel... In a plot scattered with deception, trauma and more twists than a corkscrew, The Tenth Justice singles Brad Meltzer out as the most talented legal writer since John Grisham'
Peterborough Evening Telegraph

'Meltzer's plot is well thought out, with a particularly vivid climax'
The Sunday Times

'A well-crafted, wisecracking thriller. The characters are credible and likeable and the insight into the workings of the American legal system is intriguing. This will appeal to a more twentysomething readership than Grisham's latest offerings which have - quite frankly - gone seriously off the boil. Watch out John, Brad Meltzer has just arrived'
U Magazine

'Brad Meltzer brings a dynamic new voice to the legal thriller, the first since John Grisham, in an explosive debut that will definitely change your views of this genre. With a sharp-witted dialogue and edge-of-your-seat suspense, The Tenth Justice will keep you reading into the night'
Goldlife Magazine

'Grisham had better beware, for there's a new kid on the block. In The Tenth Justice young Brad Meltzer - all of 26 - has formulated a thriller that fairly crackles, having pace, confidence and velocity-charged story-telling'
The Irish Times

'Hugely enjoyable'
Hartlepool Mail

'Sure-footed and savvy... a densely plotted thriller oozing class and intelligence... Meltzer has it in spades. Remember his name - this guy is going to be the next John Grisham and he's going to be huge'
Examiner (Ireland)

'A cracking read up there in the realms of Grisham'
Magazine (Image?)

'Hugely enjoyable'
Sunderland Echo

'Tense and pacy'
Liverpool Echo

'Sparky legal thriller'
Lancashire Evening Post

'Incorporating the complexities of the legal system of America and the compulsion of a good thriller with wit and vitality, this is a fast, exciting read'
Portsmouth News

glimpsed side of judicial politics and the dangers of trust." - Book Page

Store Description

Book People RVA has been serving readers around the world since 1980. Known as the Richmond metro-area book provider for those who prefer a warm, customer-focused buying experience, Book People offers new and used fiction and non-fiction titles and many literary genres. No matter the interaction--through its new store conveniently located in Henrico's far West End or online, customers experience the friendly and rapid service that has convinced so many buyers over the years to use Book People for all their book purchases. We fulfill orders requested via email, online, or telephone, and we accept special orders such as out-of-print books, international mail orders, and titles from boutique publishers. Book People has long had a strong community presence and sponsors several book clubs and numerous book and author events. The store supports educators and provides them a 20% discount. As part of its advocacy for free speech, Book People takes a stand against book banning and keeps an up-to-date display of books currently under threat in schools and libraries across the country. Our history: Book People founder Ruth Erb first opened the store at an earlier incarnation of the Willow Lawn shopping center. Because she loved books, loved working with people, and wanted to combine the two, she called her new store Book People. In 1986, Erb moved the store to Granite Avenue in the Westhampton part of Richmond, where it did a brisk business. Former store employee David Shuman purchased Book People from Erb in 2018, and he has recently relocated the store to larger quarters in the Gleneagles shopping center in western Henrico.
