The Outsider: A Novel

A Supreme Court clerk enters a deadly game of cat and mouse in a legal thriller "as authentic and suspenseful as any John Grisham novel" (James Patterson).

After graduating from a fourth-tier law school, the only job Grayson Hernandez can find is as a messenger at the Supreme Court. Though he dreams of joining the elite group who serve as the justices' law clerks, he's forced to watch the best and the brightest from the outside. But when he intervenes in a violent mugging, Gray earns the good graces of the intended victim: the Chief Justice of the United States.

Suddenly Gray is the newest—and unlikeliest—Supreme Court clerk. He soon finds himself enjoying upscale dinners, highbrow debates, and the attention of Lauren Hart, the brilliant and beautiful co-clerk he can't stop thinking about. But just as Gray begins to adapt to his new life, the FBI approaches him with unsettling news.

The Feds believe there's a killer connected to the Court. And they want Gray to be their eyes and ears inside One First Street. In a world cloaked in secrecy, Gray must uncover the truth before the murderer strikes again in this thrilling tale of power and revenge by Washington, D.C. lawyer-turned-author Anthony Franze.
