Praise for The Outsider
“THE OUTSIDER is as authentic and suspenseful as any John Grisham novel—and I like Grisham a lot.” —JAMES PATTERSON
“It’s like a mix of John Grisham and Scott Turow alongside the inner workings of the court system. Toss it all together and the end result is this winning novel.”
—WASHINGTON POST/AP
“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“There is so much to like about ‘The Outsider’, I don’t know where to start. Anthony Franze has fashioned a potboiler of a tale that channels John Grisham, David Baldacci and Thomas Harris all at the same time . . . . ‘The Outsider’ moves at a blistering clip, never letting up or letting us down for a moment, as it realizes every bit of its considerable ambition.”
—PROVIDENCE JOURNAL
“Franze has earned a seat at the table of legal thriller masters, and his latest book is compelling proof of that.”—STRAND MAGAZINE
“Truth, justice, and the American way, Franze-style. From the first page to the last, The Outsider is a stellar look inside the Supreme Court, and a killer thriller to boot. Franze has cemented himself as a top-notch legal thriller writer. If you like Grisham, you will love this book.”—J.T. ELLISON, New York Times bestselling author
“Franze raises the ante and with an astute piece of misdirection that keeps the reader guessing. A lawyer in a prominent Washington firm and an expert on the Supreme Court, he uses his experience and knowledge to create an authoritative, taut tale of power and revenge that focuses on a justice-minded, admirable protagonist.”—RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH

“A taut, twisting thriller”
—HUFFINGTON POST
“Franze has more close-up experience with the U.S. Supreme Court than probably any other crime novelist. He puts his insider position to enlightening work . . . . The mystery grows thick and dark, but the book’s major appeal lies in sorting out the read stuff about the court from the hectic fiction.”

“Franze’s writing style reminds me of both John Grisham and James Patterson . . . . He not only tells a good story, he also provides some insight into how the process of picking a new judge actually works . . . . quite impressive, and I look forward to seeing what he has in store for us next.”
—BOOKREPORTER
“[A] smart, suspenseful, nail-biter of a whodunit . . . . this clever story draws you in, wrings you out, and holds you tight, until the very last word.”—AUDIOFILE
