The Inner Circle

“The most engaging protagonist in years” from a #1 New York Times bestseller who “expertly develops the story . . . [a] surprising and satisfying” thriller (Booklist).

There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I love those stories. And since I work in the National Archives, I find those stories for a living.

Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the US government. He has always been the keeper of other people's stories, never a part of the story himself . . . Until now.

When Clementine Kaye, Beecher's first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help tracking down her long-lost father, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. After they accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact—a 200 hundred-year-old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington—Beecher and Clementine are suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder.

Soon a man is dead, and Beecher races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure. His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of our nation. It is a secret, Beecher discovers, that some believe is worth killing for.

Gripping and filled with fascinating historical detail, The Inner Circle is a thrilling novel that once again proves Brad Meltzer as a brilliant author writing at the height of his craft.
