INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci.” – People

"A madcap mix of intrigue, romance and legal trivia.” – New York Times

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.

Brad Meltzer

Brad Meltzer doesn’t just write thrillers—he excavates the hidden pulse beneath the surface of history, government, and identity, crafting stories where secrets aren’t just plot devices but echoes of real-life mysteries. Whether he’s unraveling the buried truths behind the U.S. presidency or sending ordinary people into the heart of extraordinary conspiracies, his work blends the tension of high-stakes fiction with the intimacy of personal legacy.

Long before his novels became bestsellers or his characters landed on television screens, Meltzer was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, fascinated by comic books and presidential trivia. That blend of imagination and curiosity never left him. It shows in the way he writes—each book layered with codes, twists, and emotional weight, from The Inner Circle to The Book of Fate. He doesn't just thrill his readers—he invites them to look behind the curtain and ask: What if the stories we think we know are only the beginning?

His deep respect for history and the human drive to protect what matters most extends beyond his thrillers. Through the Ordinary People Change the World series, he’s introduced younger readers to real-life heroes—figures like Amelia Earhart and Martin Luther King Jr.—framed not as icons on a pedestal, but as people who started small and chose to act.

What makes his voice distinctive is its heartbeat: whether he's writing about secret societies or unsung historical figures, there's always a human core. Meltzer’s stories grip you because they feel just a few layers removed from reality—and maybe not even that far.

From writing rooms to classrooms, his impact is felt far beyond the page. But at the heart of it all is a simple premise: stories matter, especially when they ask the right questions.
