“Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci.” – People The young attorneys who clerk for Supreme Court justices wield extraordinary power—privy to sensitive material that could prove disastrous in unscrupulous hands, making decisions that could change lives… or destroy them. They are… JUSTICE
Landing a prestigious position as a Supreme Court clerk fresh out of Yale Law, Ben Addison is on the ultrafast track to success—until he inadvertently shares a classified secret with the wrong listener. And now the anonymous blackmailer who made a killing with Ben’s information is demanding more. Guilty of a criminal act, his golden future suddenly in jeopardy, Ben turns for help to his roommates—three close friends from childhood, each strategically placed near the seats of Washington power—and to his beautiful, whip-smart fellow clerk, Lisa Schulman. But trust is a dangerous commodity in the nation’s capital. And when lives, careers, and power are at stake, loyalties can shatter like glass… and betrayals can be lethal.

Another great book from a great author
Bread Meltzer doesn’t disappoint
A true page turner!
Great Read.
A page turner.
Well researched, set behind the scenes of the Supreme Court with the question on how well do you know who your friends are
This was really one of the best lawyer thrillers I’ve read (or actually in this case listened to). It concerns Ben, a Supreme Court clerk who reveals a decision to a man (Rick) who claims to be his justice’s former clerk, but wasn’t. Ben’s revelation is used for insider trading and he will lose his job if he is found out. Ben and his three …
Anything I have read by Brad Meltzer has been terrific.
Loved it !!!
I like all of the Brad Meltzer’s books I’ve read and this one was excellent.
I really enjoyed this book. I think it’s probably Meltzer’s best. You won’t be disappointed (I hope).
You find out what goes on inside the backrooms of the Supreme Court.
I read this book back when it first came out. A coworker recommended it saying she couldn’t put it down. Each of us who picked it up had the same reaction. It still pulls me in when I go back to the story. Meltzer did an excellent job on his first novel.
Ben Addison graduates from law school and becomes a clerk for the Supreme Court’s most respected justices. He and Lisa are paired together to help the Judge “Hollis.” One day a phone call comes into their office and a man said he was a previous clerk for Hollis. So being a new Clerk, Ben started talking about his current case. It is against legal …
Not sure why I didn’t connect to this book as much as I thought I would because I enjoy political thrillers. Maybe it was the “millenial” thinking of the characters that threw me off. I enjoy reading this author very much but this was more of a swing and a miss for me.
I always like Meltzer’s books.
Have not read a Brad Meltzer I did not like..
Catchy idea!
:Loved every last page of this book….it really grips you with suspense!
Love this writer
