Synopsis

John F. Kennedy, Jr., was Lark. Amy Carter was Dynamo. Chelsea Clinton was Energy. Meet Shadow. Shadow is the Secret Service code name for First Daughter Nora Hartson. And when White House lawyer Michael Garrick begins dating the irresistible Nora, he's instantly spellbound, just like everyone else in her world. Then, late one night, the two witness something they were never meant to see. Now, in a world where everyone watches your every move, Michael is suddenly ensnared in someone's secret agenda. Trusting no one, not even Nora, he finds himself fighting for his innocence-and, ultimately, his life.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Meltzer's third high-octane thriller . . .Nothing gets in the way of the adrenaline jolt Meltzer delivers like a master' Kirkus Reviews

Breakneck . . . an action-packed read (Mail on Sunday on Dead Even)

'This continued certainty provides much of the tension binding Meltzer's story together and is sustained right to the dramatic - and surprising - end.' Yorkshire Evening Post

Gets the blood pumping (New York Times on Dead Even)

'Meltzer's dark political thriller pulses with adrenaline in a mean and dangerous race to the final revelation' The Oxford Times

Grisham had better beware, for there's a new kid on the block. In The Tenth Justice young Brad Meltzer - all of 26 - has formulated a thriller that fairly crackles, having pace, confidence and velocity-charged story-telling (The Irish Times on The Tenth Justice)

Legal mega-thriller which plumbs the dark depths of deceit, greed and treachery (The Northern Echo)

A thriller to rival Grisham (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)

Meltzer's dark political thriller pulses with adrenaline in a mean and dangerous race to the final revelation. (Oxford Times)

Terrific (Bookseller)

Brad Meltzer paces his thrid novel so well that pages literally fly past my eyes... as pure entertainment, THE FIRST COUNCIL works very well indeed (Deadly Pleasures)
