Book Description:
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

This was an outstanding book on tape! I stayed on the edge of my seat all the way through. Great for suspense/mystery lovers.

This remains one of my all-time fave stories. I've enjoyed it, now it's time to share it with others & later I'll come back to read a/or listen again.
It is fast pased as Darby Shaw runs furiously from those who would destroy her theory of a hidden agenda as she hurtles headlong into a life of hide & seek & a realistic glimpse into big business of media & politics.
