The Pelican Brief is a legal thriller about Darby Shaw, a brilliant and ambitious law student in New Orleans who writes a speculative legal brief linking the murders of two Supreme Court justices. What begins as an academic exercise reaches the highest levels of power in Washington and sets off a chain of deadly consequences.
After Darby’s boyfriend is killed in a bomb blast, hired killers begin hunting her. Forced to stay ahead of those who want her dead, she crosses the country and joins forces with investigative reporter Gray Grantham, the one person who may be as close to the truth as she is. The result is a fast-moving thriller of murder, conspiracy and political power.
