#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The classic legal thriller that inspired the blockbuster film starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington

“There is a propulsiveness to [Grisham’s] narrative that keeps the pages turning briskly.”—People

In suburban Georgetown, a killer’s Reeboks whisper on the 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 someone has read Darby’s brief. Someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the evidence of an unthinkable crime.

Reviews

"Gripping... a genuine page-turner. Grisham is a skillful craftsman."—The New York Times Book Review.

"Grisham has done it again!"—Chicago Tribune.

"A fast-paced thriller... it's got the unmistakable Grisham style—conspiracy in high places, evil and innocent lawyers, assassins and a plot that will keep you reading into the small hours of the morning."—The Cincinnati Post.
