Description

'The Outsider is as authentic and suspenseful as any John Grisham novel – and I like Grisham a lot' JAMES PATTERSON

He's always watching...

Grayson Hernandez isn't happy. He's drowning in student debt from law school and the only job he's got is as a messenger. Worst of all, it's for the Supreme Court, where Gray is forced to watch the best and the brightest – the elite group of lawyers who serve as the justices' law clerks – from the outside.

When Gray intervenes in a violent mugging, he makes a powerful friend: the victim was the Chief Justice of the United States. Gray becomes the newest law clerk at the Supreme Court. It's another world, with highbrow debates in the inner sanctum of the nation's highest court and upscale dinners with his new friends.

But just as Gray adapts to his new life, the FBI approaches him with unsettling news. There's a killer embedded in the Supreme Court, and they want Gray to be their eyes and ears. But what Gray doesn't know is that the FBI will soon set its sights on him. And when they do, Gray must navigate a world cloaked in secrecy, to uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again.

'Crafty and clever! Franze's insider knowledge of the Supreme Court sets this twisty legal thriller apart. The sympathetic plight of the outsider hero, Grayson Hernandez, will keep you glued to the pages; the explosive plot will leave you breathless' LISA GARDNER

'With an insider's eye for detail, Franze delivers supreme wickedness in a world few of us will ever be privy to. Franze is taking the legal thriller to new heights' LINWOOD BARCLAY

'The mind of this author is so quick that he weaves a story so exciting it becomes a one-day read automatically' SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

This could easily have been Grisham, but it wasn’t. One of the best books I have read recently, and one thank kept you thinking about the eventual outcome from early on as you turned the pages.
Recommend.

Grayson has a law degree and is a messenger in the Supreme Court, and wants nothing more than to be a law clerk.
Grayson intervenes in one of the justices being attacked and his dream comes true, but is it a dream with a price?
Great thriller and written with detail and twists and turns.
Read this in just over a day - could not put it down.
