Publisher's summary

“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…

THE TENTH 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.

Predictable and boring

Perhaps it’s because I’m an attorney, but the implausibility of the storyline combined with the predictability made it boring.

I dare somebody to not love this book! An absolute masterpiece, a nailbiter to the last second!

Very good, not fantastic.

Good story but too many things required accepting an after the fact explanation. Plus the authors does too much Nathan said… Erik said…. The reader should be able to follow some conversations without constant telling you who is talking. I still enjoyed the book but I don’t think it would have taken too much to make the book great.

Really good book.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was different than I expected.

There were some great characters, twists and turns and FULL of mostly dialogue! I love dialogue.

This is my first time listening to this author and I love his writing style, I will be looking for more of his books now.

As for the narration, well its Scott Brick so it was absolutely amazing. He is a top tier narrator.

Immature dialogue

If you’re even as old as your 30’s, you’ll probably consider this book filled with immature dialogue between the young characters. Overall story is decent, and the narrator is good.
