ISBN: 0440214041 In suburban Georgetown a killer's Reeboks whisper on
the front 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
somone has read Darby's brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy
the evidence of an unthinkable crime. |
