Late one October night, ninety-one-year-old Justice Abe Rosenberg, the Supreme Court's liberal legend, is shot to death in his Georgetown home. Two hours later, Glenn Jensen, the Court's youngest and most conservative justice, is strangled. The country is stunned. The FBI has no clues.
But Darby Shaw, a young law student at Tulane, thinks she has the answer. Days of digging through the law library's computers have led her to draft a brief speculating on an obscure connection between the two justices - and a most unlikely suspect. To Darby it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment, it was political dynamite.
Alone and frightened, Darby disappears into the shadows of the French Quarter, where she contacts the only person she can trust - an ambitious reporter after a news break hotter than Watergate - to help her piece together the deadly puzzle.
Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the inner sanctum of the White House, 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.
