# The Pelican Brief

Two Supreme Court Justices have been killed, and their murders remain unsolved. Darby Shaw, a New Orleans law student with a sharp political mind, writes a legal brief for her own amusement, arguing that the killings were politically motivated. Her professor shows it to an FBI lawyer, and soon afterwards he dies in a car bombing.

Published by Arrow Books in 1992, the novel moves between the bayou country of Louisiana and the corridors of Washington, with the law at the centre of its suspense. It will suit readers who like clever thrillers steeped in legal detail, from a writer best known for legal fiction.
