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.

The Pelican Brief opens with the shocking assassinations of two Supreme Court justices—the liberal Justice Rosenberg and the conservative Justice Jensen. As the nation reels from these events, Darby Shaw, a law student at Tulane University, develops a theory about the murders.
