Brad Meltzer Book Synopses: A story of friendship and betrayal, The Tenth Justice is set in (where else?) Washington DC. Ben Addison has been duped into sharing the outcome of a confident Court decision with a man pretending to be a former clerk, who then uses the information to make millions. Ben is now desperate to find the man who tricked him, so he gets his roommates and his co-clerk Lisa to help him find this man.
After his son was born, Brad Meltzer spent eight years writing Heroes For My Son. Meltzer wanted to share the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Jim Henson, Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali and more with his son. And now parents can help their children discover their own heroes with Heroes For My Son. Each hero demonstrates the potential that every one of us can find deep down within ourselves.

I am reading the Fifth Assassin right now and enjoying it very much
His first few books are awesome, but the Book of Fate and the Book of Lies turned me off him. Still a recommended author whose early stuff you should read.
The Lightning Rod is a Meltzer book coming soon. How does it fit in?
It’s the sequel to The Escape Artist. Zig & Nova Book 2. Tentatively scheduled for March 2022.
