JFK Jr. was Lark. Amy Carter was Dynamo. Chelsea Clinton was Energy. Meet Shadow.

"Shadow" is the Secret Service codename for the First Daughter, Nora Hartson. And when she starts dating young White House lawyer Michael Garrick, he starts feeling like the First Counsel. That's what happens to everyone who lives in her world.

It's a world all of us have heard about, but none of us truly know - a world where your dad's the President, your close friends wear earpieces and carry guns and a world where everyone is watching.

On a date, Nora and Michael see something they shouldn't. To protect her, he admits to something he shouldn't. And when the problem snowballs out of control, she may have to do something she shouldn't.

The First Counsel. The President's Daughter.

You've never dated anyone like this.

Industry 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 - The New York Times on DEAD EVEN

If you're a fan of John Grisham's style of writing, then it's worth giving Brad Meltzer's latest legal thriller a try... The plot is fast moving and full of suspense, and you're likely to be deseperate to find out what happens next ... The plot is fast moving and full of suspense, and you're likely to be desperate to find out what happens next - South Wales Argus

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

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

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

''Terrific characterisation and many twists' Publishers News
