- Synopsis
- #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The classic legal thriller that inspired the blockbuster film starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington &“There is a propulsiveness to [Grisham&’s] narrative that keeps the pages turning briskly.&”—People In suburban Georgetown, a killer&’s Reeboks whisper on the floor 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 sanctums, 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.
