Industry Reviews
"...[T]he novel is thoroughly enjoyable and should launch Meltzer as a bestselling author. The plot is inventive, and Meltzer has a good ear for dialogue. His writing style is fresh, and the care he devoted to his craft is apparent throughout."
Washington Post Book World - David Frederick (07/20/1997)
"Meltzer spins a mean paranoid fantasy that'll have you turning pages in a frenzy to learn whether Ben and his equally strung-out buddies ever grow up."
Gates
"Yale Law School graduate Ben Addison is working his first professional legal job as one of the two law clerks for Supreme Court Justice Hollis. With a job like he now has, Ben's future looks very bright. All that suddenly changes when he inadvertently blurts out to an alleged friend the decision of the court before it is released to the public and the interested parties, leading to one of the particulars making millions of dollars. Ben panics, fearing that he may have destroyed his budding golden career, especially when the culprit demands more insider information from Ben or else. Still, he fails to do the ethical thing and admit what he did to the proper authorities. Instead, Ben enlists the help of his fellow clerk, Lisa, and several friends in an effort to stop the blackmailer. Instead the group finds themselves in trouble in terms of their jobs and perhaps even their lives because they have taken on the wrong opponent. 'The Tenth Justice' is an entertaining legal thriller that moves at a rapid pace as it depicts the power struggles inside the beltway universe. The story line is interesting and the support cast quite enchanting. However, readers will have no empathy for Ben, who will risk everyone else's lives to protect his own. Brad Meltzer has written a delightful debut novel that fans of the legal thriller will enjoy."
