The Pelican Brief

The Suprime Court Justices are dead. Their murders are connected only in one mind, and in one legal brief conceived by that mind. Brilliant, beauteful and ambitious, New Orleans legal student Darby Shaw little realises that her speculative brief will penetrate to the highest levels of power in Washington and cause shockwaves there. Shockwaves that will send hired killers chasing after her, that will propel her across the country to meet investigative reporter Gray Grantham, the one man who is as near the truth as she is.
