The Tenth Justice

by Brad Meltzer

Grand Central Publishing | June 1, 1998 | Mass Market Paperbound

Ben Addison, fresh from Yale Law, is a new clerk for one of the Supreme Court''s most respected justices. But when he accidentally reveals the secret outcome of an upcoming decision, a blackmailer makes millions and Ben starts to sweat. Big time. He turns to his co-clerk, Lisa, and his housemates, Nathan, Eric, and Ober, for help. Washington''s best and brightest, they offer coveted insider access to the State Department, a major Washington newspaper, and the Senate. But before they know it, their careers-and their lives-are on the line. Where does loyalty end? Where does greed begin? And how much can you really trust your friends?

    This is a fabulous book. It has so many twists and turns you don't know where the story is going. Ben is a clerk for the Supreme Court of the United States - a so-called tenth justice because of the power clerks can wield in making the decisions. He is tricked into giving away some information about an upcoming case - a huge no-no obviously. He gets his roommates and co-clerk Lisa Marie to try to help him trap the culprit. It has tons of action, realistic legal feel, and is tons of fun. I have really liked all of Brad Meltzer's books but I think this one, his first, is still my favourite.

    After reading Meltzer's first novel, I doubt he will ever become a lawyer. Not because he doesn't know law well, but because he will probably make more money fictionalizing the genre than practicing it. Fast paced and likeable characters, without the typically predictable ending. Definitely an author on the rise.

From Our Editors

Fresh from Yale Law School, Ben Addison has just landed one of the most coveted positions in the field of law--a Supreme Court clerkship. After inadvertently revealing the confidential outcome of an upcoming decision to the wrong person, Ben enlists the aid of his housemates and his co-clerk, Lisa, to trap a blackmailer. By pitting co-worker against co-worker, roommate against roommate, "The Tenth Justice" keeps one question ringing in readers' heads--whom can you trust
