The Pelican Brief by John Grisham
The Pelican Brief by John Grisham
In suburban Georgetown, a killer's Reeboks whisper on the of a posh home.....
In a seedy D.C. porno house, a patron is swiftly garroted to death.....
The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief.....
To Darby Shaw, it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment, it was political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder -- a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person she can trust -- an ambitious reporter after a newsbreak hotter than Watergate -- to help her piece together the deadly puzzle.
Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House's inner sanctum, a violent cover-up is being engineered. For someone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.
